Mayacamas Range Napa Estate Zinfandel 2018

9.2

2018 vintage. Old-school zin. Lip-smacking with both fruit and structure in balance. Will easily provide and care for a decade+. Dense medium-heavy body with massive dark/black fruit components. Dunno why Zin ever strayed and became unfaithful to this style. Those cheaters have nothing but regrets. — a month ago

The acidity on this is unreal. Deep black and red fruits, plum, wild blackberry, black currant, dusty earth, violets, leather—fine grained and plush, well structured, was worried it would be too early but an absolute pleasure and that mountain acidity keeps you coming back — a month ago

Epic Napa valley Cabernet still very young and fresh this bottle can go another 20 years . Has a little Heitz Martha’s menthol on the nose with lots of cassis some spices and liquid minerals . The finish is powerful just lacks the earthiness of Bordeaux but really amazing . — 3 months ago

I think I have one of these in the cellar. Drink now or wait a bit?

Matt Perlman

@Tom Casagrande I think things could integrate with a bit more time but certainly very fine now

9.5

Another stunning example of Napa greatness in the 70’s. These wines truly give Bordeaux a run for their money and in my opinion are much more expressive of the terroir than modern Napa wines. — 4 months ago

Monte Rosso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

9.2

This vineyard located in the celebrated Mayacamas Mountains nearly 1,300 feet above the Sonoma Valley delivers on a promise. That promise, a robust cab with full flavor and complexity - Black licorice, black pepper with a subtle cherry finish.

After being disappointed lately, this Martini is a strong representation of what Sonoma County can deliver.

Bravo Louis, bravo! — 6 months ago
