Opened a 2009 to watch the U.S. Open. Chocolate flavors opened slowly but grew luscious. Not gonna say where a bought this because I'm going back to buy what's left. — 10 years ago
Very nice Mataro - still quite young though, and would drink much better with a few more years in the bottle — 12 years ago

Some aldehydic lift. Dried leaf and black fruit. Nicely balanced palate - long and even. Lots of interest. — 6 years ago
Well balanced GSM blend, raspberry and black cherry with some tannins coming in late. Would go well with some spice. — 7 years ago
Bright, smooth, very pleasant to drink. Will be even better in at least a few years. — 8 years ago
2012 was better — 10 years ago
Absolute delight. Deep berries and currants. Very fruity yet balanced with earthy minerals and light tannins. Great food wine with white meats and medium intensity flavours. Couldn't stop drinking this! — 10 years ago
Dark fruit - ripe and jammy blackberry, with black cherry and a pronounced oak spice, presenting as gingerbread spice / pfeffernusse. Slight eucalyptus or mint character. I'm taken with this nose - it's so... Christmas excess.
Dark fruit - blackberry, black cherry.
This seemed lighter than the Steading, with medium plus body and elevated alcohol, but actually the alcohol was 15.5%.
Elevated acid - possibly acidified, based on how it stuck out, and seemed slightly bitter/artificial. Very minimal tannins. Balanced, ripe, and delicious, with a polarizing gingerbread character. — 10 years ago
Earthy red/black fruits, with nice tannins and good acid. Weighty, savory mid-palate and beautiful, herbal finish. — 11 years ago
Amazing. Need. More. Hazelnut and vanilla nose — 12 years ago
Reminiscent of an Italian wine. Dry, acidic but pleasantly balanced. Very interesting texture! — 5 years ago
Oh snap! My first time trying one of the 2017 Mataro’s from Sandlands and this San Benito County is fantastic! Beautiful, pure, fresh plums and other dark cherry with black pepper and other spices. It has an almost ferrous characteristic about it that I find quite charming. Lots of tannin and acid so let this be a note to those who are holding these in their cellar: just wait. This should be killer by 2022 but it’s already pretty exciting to drink. — 6 years ago
Dense , spicy and fragrant to the nose. — 7 years ago
This had some funk to it.. very anti-Aussie in its approach. Shiraz/Mataro blend with a zippy, fresh quality to it. Slightly chilled, this’d be good. — 7 years ago
