or a grenache blanc


Yep... pegged by an excellent sleuth on Berserkers. All the pieces match and Two Vintners is a constant on Full Pull.

Based on my experience with Two Vintners Grenache Blanc from Boushey, this is a must buy for me.

I apparently (a) missed their reminder that shipping was about to happen, and I also (b) neglected to update my shipping address with them when I closed my offsite storage, probably because I thought I would update shipping addresses as I got reminders from stores/wineries about shipping windows opening, but... see point (a).

I received a notification from UPS this morning that labels had been generated for delivery to my old offsite. Oh no! I emailed Full Pull, apologizing for my errant ways, and in less than half an hour, I got a response back that they had changed the delivery for me. (1st world) crisis averted.

2020 WeatherEye Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon - $94.99 (FPP $84.99)
Here is our inaugural offer of Cabernet Sauvignon from this special vineyard, and it’s a knockout. Sourced from three different blocks and aged in 70% new French oak, it beautifully balances inky cassis fruit with mineral elements galore (iron and graphite) alongside rosemary and cedar. Just beautiful. The palate pairs old-world tension and tannic tenacity with new-world fruit succulence (15% listed alc) in a seamless, spectacular package.


I have not tasted this wine, but this represents a significant markdown from the winery direct price of $130. I have a couple of bottles arriving on Friday, but asked for a couple more via Full Pull.

I don't see any 2020 vintage on Wine Searcher, but 2018 is selling for around $50.

Asked for 3, allocated 1.

Need to stop telling you people about these deals!

Wine Enthusiast 94 Points Editors’ Choice
Two Vintners 2019 Oliver Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

WeatherEye Vineyard Grenache makes up 70% of this wine, Olsen Syrah 20%, and the rest bits of Olsen Petit Sirah and Cinsault (5% each). The aromas are brooding, with notes of dark raspberry, cherry, earth and herb. Soft, full-bodied, palate-staining purple and black fruit flavors follow, showing great depth and precision, supported by ample tannin and acid structure. There's laser-focused purity. It's outrageously delicious.

Status: offline 		Thanks Rich.

I now have ~60 bottles pending at Full Pull. 20 of those bottles are Redacted wines across 5 different wines, assuming I get allocated for #79. The redacted wines are also ones that have been allocated less than requested more times than not.

I need to turn Damn Paul off for a while...

Son’s wedding next October so I’m for 15, hoping to be allocated 12. Love that they come with 10 years of age and excellent provenance! TNs I read didn’t suggest these will be funky as I know that would be too much for most guests. Would love to hear of anyone’s experience with these.

Status: offline 		I got allocated quickly the 3 I requested. I've never had the MTR label, but have had several Reynvaan and Result of a Crush. They are not as funky as some Cayuse, but they are definitely Rocks wines, so I'd hesitate serving to a large crowd. Drink one yourself, and with the bride and groom first for sure, and congrats! on the nuptials.

Status: offline 		Thanks and appreciate the advice! So far, no word back on my possible allocation so maybe his equitable distribution approach, which I love, holds out on larger requests to allow for some back and forth with the supply source as to meeting “larger” requests. .

Not a difficult Redacted wine to identify today. I have 7 bottles between the prior two versions offered, still haven't opened one, so doubt I need any more.
