Thomas Winery Acme Wineworks Pinot noir NV

Tasting the Acme Pinot noir in Marcus’s new house amidst piles of boxes, we wrote this note: “Beautiful red fruit perfume and dried rose petal with incense, white pepper, and sweet earth. Red currant, cherry, raspberry, on a seamless, creamy frame. Both lush and bright, this has the complexity of a Pinot twice its price.”

John Thomas makes his Acme second label from declassified estate grown Pinot noir. A blend of wine from 2006 and 2007, the Acme Pinot is a steal. By blending 2006 and 2007 pinot noirs together, John pulls off a wine that incorporates the best of both vintages at a great price.

We get emails and calls all year long for Thomas Winery Pinot noir. John Thomas's small vineyard produces a few hundred cases of Pinot a year, allocated among a lucky few. His great value Acme Wineworks label Pinot noir - made only every 4-6 years - is even harder to get.
