Mon Premier Wines Lagniappe Pinot Noir
$55.00 USD
The 2023 Lagniappe Pinot Noir from Phelps Ranch Vineyard embodies the untamed beauty of Humboldt County — cool coastal air, rugged soils, and a hint of wildness in every glass. True to its name, this wine offers “a little something extra.” From the first swirl, Lagniappe is alluringly spice-driven, with aromas of black pepper, allspice, and cardamom weaving through notes of wild raspberry, dried rose, and cedar shavings. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and finely textured, showcasing layers of clove, cinnamon bark, and star anise that frame its core of red cherry and blood orange. The 18 months in 50% new French oak deepen the complexity, lending hints of cocoa, toasted nut, and sandalwood without overwhelming the fruit. The finish is long and lifted — a graceful interplay of spice, mineral, and coastal freshness.

About the Vineyard
This Pinot Noir begins with CCOF organically farmed fruit from Porter Creek, and that matters to us. Not because organic farming sounds good on a label, but because it changes the way we think about the wine from the very beginning.
Great wine is not something you can force into existence later in the cellar. It has to start in the vineyard, with fruit that has been farmed carefully, thoughtfully, and with respect for the land it comes from. For us, working with organically farmed fruit is part of that larger responsibility — to let the vineyard speak clearly, without trying to cover it up or turn it into something it is not.
You can feel that in the glass. There is freshness, lift, and purity to the fruit, but also texture and quiet depth. The wine does not need to be loud to feel special. It has that kind of natural elegance that comes from balance, from patience, and from trusting the vineyard.
About the Winemaking
Made under the careful supervision of Rabbi Mendel Wenger and certified through the Orthodox Union, R. Degen wines are crafted to be Kosher for Passover and enjoyed year-round with confidence, pride, and purpose.
Produced non-mevushal, our wines are made with a commitment to preserving the full integrity of the fruit, the vineyard, and the winemaking process. Every bottle reflects the belief that kosher wine should not be defined by limitation, but by intention — thoughtful farming, careful cellar work, and a deep respect for tradition.
This is wine made to be poured without apology. Elegant, expressive, and rooted in meaning, R. Degen represents a new standard for kosher wine: one where tradition and luxury stand together in the same glass.
