Killer domestic value from the Gabilan Mountains of Monterey. Mostly Mourvèdre with Grenache and Syrah. Needs time to open up and unwind. Raspberry coulis, wild strawberry, black and white pepper, and an earthy streak of something feral. Whole cluster fermented in concrete and neutral barrel. Bright, but structure and weight are added with air. Organic. — a day ago

Love this juice. Nicely concentrated and easy to drink with that sappy, southern Burgundy charm. Have two more mags. — a month ago

NYE red blind. Effusive nose of spicy Grenache and fruit leather. Heavy hitter. 15% abv. Got some accurate CdP calls. Drinking great. From mag. — a month ago

Our white blind for the evening. Was honestly shocked nobody guessed Chenin, though white Burgundy, Chablis, and Muscadet were all called. So elegant and textured. From mag, and happy to have a couple more. — a month ago

Beast! Big, burly, brooding, and bawesome.
Rich and gamey with smoky olive brine and savory layers of earth. Tucking a couple away. — 7 days ago

In a great spot. Ripe and toasty. Baked orchard fruit in puff pastry. Wish I had a chance to drink more of this. — a month ago

Savory and nutty. Marzipan and walnut. Paired with Kumamoto oysters but probably wasn’t the right Champagne for the job. Delicious nonetheless. — a month ago
