SECRET CELLAR BARREL RESERVE
Jason Lett, winemaker and proprietor at Eyrie Vineyards, has a library with a 6,000 case legacy of mature wine.
He developed a “Cellar Certification” program, a reconditioning process often seen in Bordeaux,
in which the old cork is removed from an aged bottle, the ullage is filled and a new cork is inserted into the neck.
Under Lett's supervision, prized vintages are rebottled, labeled, topped with a new Diam cork,
sealed and eventually released to the market as a “Cellar Certified” library wine.
These late vintage wines sell for hundreds of dollars. For this dinner, we will be tasting Eyrie's 1986 Barrel Reserve Pinot Noir.
a $390. bottle of wine.
