Pretty amazing wine. It was great when I opened it with a lot of complex salty and mineral notes, but three days later it was even better! — 6 years ago

Not unpleasant but notes of paint on the nose, sweet palate, turns into pear and apricot over a long finish. Acidity provides a nice balance. — 7 years ago

Super interesting. Part of a small, natural wine seminar wth Abe Schoener. Crystal clear but orange and earthy with an ever so slight yeasty quality to it. — 8 years ago

Just got into Napa from a long day of traveling. Starting in Malibu for India's MBA graduation to Napa for celebrations! We decided to grab a heavy varietal and stick with Napa. This wine was a deep and dark ruby red, actually almost purplish black that completely coated the glass. Very interesting nose that was a little tight to start. Finally opened up over the next hour with some blackberries and freshly broken branches. Started with some softer dark fruits, but also coated with thick blackberries. Not overly sweet at all. Moderate tannins (7/10) and moderate plus body. Some red berries with their bright acidity near the finish. Moderate plus finish. Can see this becoming more integrated with time. Drink till 2022. 89+ — 9 years ago

2015. Red to blue fruits, leather, subtle acid and not-so-subtle oak come together after 3-4 hours of decanting. Young and more oak than I’d like but concentration of high-quality fruit and evident complexity should make this a knockout in 2-4 years.

I love this wine. A little strong on the finish, but really what I think of when I think of Pinot Noir. — 5 years ago

Seriously, Malibu. Do you have to use an inch of wax to seal every bottle? You're really making me work for this one. Ripe black cherry and baking spice entices the nose. Young bright and fun on the palate. It's definitely equipped for aging across the decade. Just have a machete handy to bust through that wax. Paired tonight's offering with a massive rare tomahawk steak. Nom nom. — 7 years ago

A cheery mix of coconut, unripe pineapple, and tannins. I love this Monterey wine. It reminds me of the old days, of a college party with music, booze, frat guys, and Malibu Rum. — 8 years ago

Well, this is the first bottle I’ve opened since the beginning of COVID-19 social distancing and I’m really happy it didn’t disappoint. Really nice light body and acid, honeysuckle, stone fruit and...hay? I’m into it. — 5 years ago

Milan Nestarec Youngster Pinot Grigio 2017. Such an interesting wine! A lot of lime (as the label might convey), orange, roundness but still light bodied. A lot of acidity and minerality. Tastes like limestone and key west via a czech’s interpretation. — 7 years ago
