In Raleigh at vita vite. Was here for conference. Stumbled in and got this. Not sure retail price but was super excited as this is the second tannat I’ve found since discovering in Bolivia years ago! Light o medium, smooth and very soft. Easy drinking! — 7 years ago

Top of Diamond Mountain is evident on the finish with the volcanic soil spice. This 1995 was a great find in Raleigh at the Angus Barn, and it made their good steaks great! — 10 years ago

The legendary ‘74 Heitz Martha’s from Magnum in the wine cellar room at the Angus Barn in Raleigh, NC. This delivered on the promise of the advance publicity I’ve heard for years. I recall reading an article about the ‘74 years ago that said this was the first vintage that David Heitz was the main winemaker. Joe had back surgery and was even hospitalized at some point so David would bring samples to his bedside and get advice. Each and every thing you enjoy about this unique winery is in this bottle. Eucalyptus, tobacco, mint, herb, cherry and tart rhubarb pie, menthol, cedar and forest floor. Still dynamic and spirited at 40+ years. A remarkable, rare treat.

The photo above the bottle shows the color variation between the ‘74 (left) and the ‘70 (right) and those hues were indicative of the wines themselves. The ‘74 was energetic with silky red fruit, the ‘70 more brooding and chewy. — 8 years ago

Bought in Harris Teeter supermarket, in Raleigh,North Carolina, but surprisingly an excellent fruity wine with chocolate flavours; soft but structured tannins. Drank with a wonderful lamb cutlet which was tasty and juicy cooked to perfection at my son’s home by yours truly, a baked potato with sour cream and sautéed Brussel sprouts cooked by my dear wife. — 8 years ago

14' Shea Vineyard Block 5
Big boy Pinot ! Mike had decanted this for 2 hours before we enjoyed this beauty.
It displayed big, dark, complex characters. In its youth it displays bold upfront fruits - Black cherry, black raspberry. Mid palate - acid / tannins earthiness . Wrapped in a core of black fruits & red licorice. Drink in 2019 & enjoy for the next 8+ years. @Mike R Thanks again for opening your beautiful home to Kristen & I. I'll have to remember to come next time ready to eat! We love you Rhonda ! Can't wait to see you both in November. - at Castle Rowe in Raleigh, NC — 8 years ago
