With every swirl, DLynn infuses

innovation and artistry, making Pensman Estate

a true global expression.

DLynn Proctor, Pensman Estate's captivating proprietor, embodies the vision behind the label. With more than 25 years in the wine world, he has become a celebrated sommelier, media personality, and global ambassador, bringing the Pensman Collection to life with every pour.

From fine dining and rare wine brokerage to education and global media, DLynn’s journey is woven into the DNA of his portfolio of ventures. Trained alongside top winemakers in Australia, California, and Italy, he carries an expertise that has earned him honors such as Best Sommelier in America (Wine & Spirits Magazine), Wine Business Monthly-Wine Industry Leader, and Wine Enthusiast’s 40 Under 40 Tastemakers.

Beyond the vineyards, DLynn has introduced audiences worldwide to the beauty of wine through the acclaimed SOMM films, Kevin Hart’s Hart to Heart, and the Netflix Original Uncorked, where he also served as Associate Producer. His co-founding of Wine Unify, and partnering in Gabriel-Glas North America reflect the same values Pensman and Pensman ITALICO hold dear: authenticity, inclusivity, and connection.

With the Pensman Collection, DLynn’s work is more than wine growing. He translates complexity into accessibility, crafting wines that resonate with seasoned collectors and casual enthusiasts alike. With his nose for quality and his desire for storytelling, the wines of Pensman Estate are not just bottles—they are experiences, guided by one of the industry’s most dynamic voices.
