Sonoma winery Gundlach Bunschu refers to the GUNBUN label as its "alter ego." To produce this expression, fruit was sourced from the windy and cool Petaluma Gap and aged nine months in barrel. A dollop of devil's food cake and dark cherries greet the nose and palate for a sensational start. Big-bodied, with savory, woodsy notes, the wine possesses a memorable umami character and tobacco finish.

From Gundlach Bundschu comes GUNBUN, the latest venture from the sixth generation of loveably unpolished California winemakers, The Sonoma Original. GUNBUN is our alter ego and is here to take on the world, one delicious, approachable, and remarkably unpretentious bottle of wine at a time. You’re probably asking, what’s the deal with GUNBUN? Well, Mr. Seinfeld, for starters it’s decidedly easier to pronounce (you’re welcome).

PINOT NOIR It’s made by the same unorthodox vintners who make Gundlach Bundschu wines, so you know it’s gonna be pretty dang good. But rather than evoking a sense of place and time, GUNBUN wines are crafted to evoke a feeling. You know that moment when the lights drop and your favorite band starts playing, where everyone milling about puts down their phones and turns their eyes towards the stage? That’s it. That magnetic force that draws us together. That’s GUNBUN. Sourced from the gentle slopes and clay-based soils in the Petaluma Gap in the Sonoma Coast Appellation. Classic rich, bright, coastal Pinot from a pioneer in California Pinot Noir.
