Mystery Wine Identification
CIRQ Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2021
CIRQ
The riddles heavily point to Michael Browne and his cult-favorite CIRQ label: the 'UPS uniforms' riddle references their trademark color 'Brown' (Michael Browne), while the 'coterie of performers' and quote from The Greatest Showman ('Trust me, they don't know it yet...') connect to the circus theme (CIRQ). The $250 retail price, 99+ point score, and high pedigree match the 2021 CIRQ Russian River Valley release.
