1924 Port Barrel Aged Pinot Noir

The 18th Amendment won't ring a bell for many wine drinkers. However, it's incredibly important for anyone who regularly enjoys a glass of wine. This amendment laid the foundation for Prohibition in America during the 1920s. During this time, it was illegal to produce, transport, or sell alcohol. However, with so many things prohibited, a thriving underground trade developed. Barrels became contraband; grapes were precious. In the midst of Prohibition, the 1924 Winery was founded as a protest against the interference from Washington, DC.
