The sweepstakes offers a three day, two night stay at one of Marc Mondavi’s favorite fishing spots, round trip airfare, gourmet meals, wine education, and the adventures of your choosing including hiking, running, walking, fishing, kayaking, or golfing in Montana
Napa, CA March 1, 2016 – Marc Mondavi and his Divining Rod wines today added a new wine to their portfolio: The Divining Rod Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley, Oregon. The new Pinot Noir will be available in markets nationwide starting May 1, 2016. The Divining Rod is also inviting consumers to enter “The Divining Rod Adventure Sweepstakes,” a consumer sweepstakes to win a trip for two to one of Marc Mondavi’s favorite Montana fishing spots.
The new 2014 Divining Rod Pinot Noir is from the Willamette Valley, Oregon, and is priced at $18.99 per bottle. The wine is balanced and complex with French oak, black cherry, cinnamon and clove aromas and flavors. Fine tannins and bright acidity in a delicate framework make the wine very vibrant and polished.
“The Willamette Valley is a prime location for Pinot Noir and we are excited to add this new Oregon Pinot Noir to our portfolio,” said Marc Mondavi, Winemaker and Proprietor of The Divining Rod wines. “Our winemaking philosophy is to offer wines that express the signature characteristics of particular appellations and, like our other wines, our new Pinot Noir reflects that approach.”
In addition to the new Pinot Noir, The Divining Rod also today launched The Divining Rod Adventure Sweepstakes. Consumers can enter the sweepstakes at facebook.com/TheDiviningRod or by texting “DIVININGROD” to shortcode 31279.
“I absolutely love Montana. It’s one of my favorite places,” added Mondavi. “I am thrilled to offer an outdoor adventure to a Divining Rod fan and I hope they enjoy the gorgeous Montana scenery.”

About Marc Mondavi, Winemaker & Water Witch
“From water, comes wine” – never has this been truer than with The Divining Rod wines. By giving life to countless vineyards across California, Marc Mondavi quite literally “turns water into wine.” He possesses the grape growing and winemaking skills and knowledge that come from growing up in the Napa Valley, as a key member of America’s foremost wine family. But Marc’s “sixth sense” for water divining (also called water witching or dowsing) and connection with the land, put him on another level of winemaking. That’s why we say that his Divining Rod wines are more than natural, they’re supernatural.
