The famous Pinot Noir from the movie Sideways! Very limited The Hitching Post 2013 Highliner Pinot Noir  is Hitching Post's top-of-the-line bottling, a blend of their best barrels from their best vineyards. Their goal is to achieve balance and complexity in a graceful and elegant, yet compelling and complete expression of Pinot Noir from our region. The new vintage shows the best of a well structured, graceful yet flavorful vintage. Full body, intense dark fruits, white pepper spice and earthiness, all tightly wound in a seamless package that is sure to give more and more as it opens with age. Only 900 cases produced. The name "Highliner" comes from partner Gray Hartley's 25 years of commercial fishing of Alaskan salmon. It was there that he worked along side the best fishermen in the fleet, and they were called "Highliners."

Excellent Pinot once it opens. Pop it day before, give it plenty of air, and you'll be rewarded for your patience.

Beautiful dark red, aromas of cherry, black currant, pepper and leather. Amazing Pinot- smooth with a dry finish.
