Fantastic bottling! I feel that Martha's Vineyard is a very under appreciated and under valued bottling from the Napa Valley. One of the oldest vineyard specific bottling in California behind Monte Bello and Eisele Vineyard. — 7 months ago

Intense and pure. Beautiful balance. Focused and saline with great minerality. Young and tight but so much in the future — 8 months ago

It was more subdued than I expected. I tend to like the Merlot heavy Bordeaux but this one was still a bit muted. Perhaps it needs more time even though it’s well in its recommended range. Dark and heavy. Solid but left me underwhelmed. Decanted. Better after an hour. — 6 months ago

Stunning bottle - showed really well after 3 hours or so. Maturing, integrated tannin, structured, a nose you wanna swim in… — 8 months ago

Standout of the night, 1996-2012 vintages in the 168th edition. Complex flavors of citrus, creaminess, and earth, like a creamy mushroom puff pastry. — 7 years ago

Floral notes on the nose — roses, hibiscus, plus mint, and the dry fragrance of sun-bleached wood. Strawberries on the front. Medium tannic structure. Black tea high notes with hint mint on the mid palate. Citrusy finish with long acidic afterburn. My description fails in that it makes it sound like a light and floral wine. But taken altogether, this is wine is rock solid, and it hasn’t even begun to develop. — 7 months ago

Beautiful tempranillo led wine with 10% graciano from one of the benchmark vintages in the past 25 years. This Gran Reserva has legs for the long run but perfectly approachable now! — 9 months ago

Spicy, liquorice plums, wrapped up in cedar wood. Very long finish. Top notch. — 11 years ago
