Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2017

Certainly have a soft spot for Raj Parr but this is a very nice Pinot, especially for the price. Probably would have guessed Oregon blind. Definitely one to give some air and follow its evolution, though it’s good at varied stages along the way. Lots of earthiness, but the darkish red fruits and some spice really shine through. A bit less acid on the finish than I tend to look for but still a balanced and delicious wine. — 4 years ago

Never Say Never Dead Fred Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

The Never Say Never Cabernet Sauvignon from Raj Parr is sourced from the Dead Fred Vineyard in Napa Valley's Coombsville AVA, which is organically farmed by Steve Mathiasson. This traditional style Cabernet shows wonderful elegance and refinement, as it opens to inviting aromas of dark/red currants, red berry tea, zesty florals, tobacco, crushed graphite and a savory/herbal character that all take shape and emerge gracefully from the glass. On the palate this possesses a gorgeous medium-body that is impeccably balanced and well-structured with velvety tannins and wonderful acidity providing terrific freshness. It goes on to impress with its lovely bright character, displaying delicious mouth watering flavors of currants, crushed violets, fresh tobacco and zesty undertones which continue to linger all the way through the precisely focused finish. The 2016 is a beautifully crafted Cabernet that shows plenty of energy and verve in its youth, however readers should allow this beauty some time to settle down and mature, as it shows incredible promise to evolve and age exceptionally well for years to come. — 5 years ago

Pax Mahle Wines

Sonoma-Hillsides Syrah 2016

The ratings below from Steve Matthiason and Raj Parr tell you everything you need to know about this wine. 2 heroes of California wine singing its praises. On Pax’s recommendation I opened one early, I immediately regretted that decision. Not because it’s not good, it is fact VERY good but I wouldn’t come to find that out until I had it open for SIX days. It took that long for the layers and layers of fruit to peel back to reveal the structure underneath. I can only rate now based on day 6, but in 10 years I might be able to go 100pts just like Steve did. — 7 years ago

Raj Parr Anika Grenache - incredible wine. Slight barnyard nose, bold start on the palate with nice tannins and then a very light reveal of some white pepper spice. Like a brash farmer bursting into the room to then recite some lovely verses. — 4 years ago
