Royal Prince Wines was founded in 2016 by vintner David Green with only one aim, to make delicious wines for the many, not cult wines for the elite. To help him accomplish his goal, in a master stroke in late 2019, David brought major-league winemaker Maayan Koshcitzky (Screaming Eagle, Dalla Valle) on as a partner. Maayan is Director of Winemaking for Atelier Melka, where he has worked for eight years under the tutelage of the great Philippe Melka (Screaming Eagle, Dalla Valle, Dominus Estate, Ch. Haut-Brion, Ch. Petrus.) Royal Prince wines consistently transcend the expectations of their price points, and use their advantage of unique access to a rarefied tier of wine-growing partners. They make wine honestly, employing a minimalist approach to growing, blending, and bottling. The 95 Point Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir is where it is at, sourced from the iconic coastal Santa Rita Hills, this pinot’s depth belies its initial appearance: Roses, raspberries, and root beer with a unique savory quality on the palate. Plush, smooth and balanced by vibrant acidity, this is a ridiculously good wine for the money. As it gains accolades and climbs in stature, remember you saw it on offer here first.
