I don't know how to describe the smell. Tone of cassis, a small tone of tannins and a mineral background. Not too intense. — 7 years ago

I'm loving this wine #Mat Garretson! Lovely violets on the nose with dark berries. The palate is still dark and brooding with blackberries, boysenberries, and stewed plums. Dam fine wine. In a screwtop. — 7 years ago

New stock. Less gunk. More linear on some notes but wilder on the herbal level. Different but for me better than last year's.

A lot of cherry and spice. Went well with spice-rubbed pork tenderloin and grilled sweet potatoes. @foodandwine — 9 years ago

The deliciously balanced, complex 2010 Vina Sastre Pesus, kills with its seductive aromas; rich, pure fruit; and super refined, sweet tannins. It definitely needs several years of bottle age, but Paco Sifuentes couldn't resist opening a bottle on the occasion of the 2nd anniversary of Canela Bar & Bistro, the restaurant he owns with his partner, Chef Mat. — 11 years ago

Experiencing this wine was like sharing a yurt or very small bed with a Jennifer Connelly aged somewhere between The Labyrinth and Requium for a Dream. Savoring this blend was one of the red wine highlights of the month. That cherry, cow dung, earthy, wilted flower, rubber door mat, cigar and prune flavor of fine, aged CDP...Almost like sharing an igloo in the remote arctic with Jennifer Connelly and having to hold on to each other tightly for warmth. — 7 years ago

Floral on the nose. Displaying the fruit of sunny California heat with an underlying sweetness that's kept at bay with a floor mat of svelte spice. Perfectly complimenting chicken cacciatore. — 8 years ago

This was a recommendation and I'm glad I got it. Gamay is a grape the mat is suited to the Valley weather and this one lives up to region. Very smooth wand well balanced. Nice taste of cherries and will be good with seafood or beef. Only hope I can get more of this fine BC wine. — 8 years ago

Don't know where I've been since I didn't know they expanded their wines...actually I've been pregnant for the past 2 years. This one is smooth and whole fruity very subtle and I really loved it! A new MaT fav! — 8 years ago

Lovely little rosé from the Languedoc region. Dry cherry and watermelon with a bit of spice on the end. A steal for $11 in NYC. — 9 years ago

Big and bold yet pretty well balanced in a smooth package. Blackberry, blueberry jam and ground chocolate. Wouldn't say it's my style but could easily recommend and have this with brisket or pulled pork. This is one to enjoy — 7 years ago

This is the sleeper of the night. Opened it to say hello but I'd definitely said goodbye to us and shut the door in our face. We revisited 3 hours later and there was a welcome Mat on the front Palate which stated "Welcome!".
Absolutely insane. Its transformation was insane. Beautifully integrated. The nose of the Night was a toss up between this and another. Incredibly earthy, leather, dark fruit & what a finish it was. Lance Armstrong didn't have this much stamina. Front, Mid & Back Palate . This is firing on all cylinders & we continuously revisited this one through the entire night.
Incredible, simply incredible. Thank you for sharing such a great bottle with us. IOU one! — 8 years ago

A delight. Lingering samplings of crushed, dry violets, old rubber door mat (not in a bad way, in an older cabernet kind of way), blackberry and chocolate. New french oak. Great cab dominant blend. — 8 years ago

chrysanthemum color wuth very nice & clean aromas of lemon skin, pear, and flowers on the nose. Medium-to-full-bodied followed by crisp and refreshing taste of lime & green apple on the palate. Dry & good texture with nice balanced of acidity & mild salty. Taste like Sauvignon Blanc & match perfectly with seafood and sashimi. Good value & like it a lot. — 8 years ago

Had this on Juliette and I's "first date"...so the experience may be clouding my judgement, but we both remember this being really good. Pretty bold and a little spicy. I'm definitely a Michael David homer, so.... — 9 years ago

Very light in color. Faint aroma of linden trees in bloom and pear. Bracing acidity and some minerality. Tingles through the finish. Makes a clean getaway. 2013 — 9 years ago
