Folk Machine Potter Valley Pinot Closer to the Bone 2023

In the meandering history of Waterford Lore, this wine stands alone - Kenny Likitprakong’s Potter Valley Pinot - the one that changes names (and labels) every year. 

And there is one vintage where the lore is strongest - the 2007 vintage. That year, Kenny made a tiny amount and, almost by happenstance, shipped a few bottles out to Waterford. They were such an instant hit - just an amazing flavor and mouthfeel, that we went down into the cellar and started comparing the PVP to Domaine Leroy’s Premier Cru Savigny les Beaune (now at $595 a bottle). And the comparison weighed in Kenny’s favor. 

I mention this because while the PVP is always excellent, this year it's out-of-the-park. It’s the first vintage that comes close to comparing with his legendary 2007. It’s a magical wine, one that is simply so light, elegant and utterly amazing. 

Kenny still doesn’t make all that much, so we wanted to get this pre-shelf offer out to you, his loyal PVP fans, first. Don’t miss it. 

Winery notes:

"We love this wine and it is always one of our most popular sought after wines. From the organically farmed Vecino Vineyard, this is a 50/50 blend of Pommard and Dijon 115 clones. 70% whole cluster. 

"Each year the names changes, though the wine is fairly consistent. This year it is called Closer to the Bone. Think Kris Kristofferson."
