The Mason Edna Valley Mourvedre 2007

This wine is insane. Nose is an absolute assault of clove, cardamom, incense, menthol, and, most prominently, a freshly unwrapped piece of grape Bubble Yum (which I suppose no longer exists). Palate is completely disjointed, with intense dark fruit, loam, asphalt, and licorice. Great restaurant. Vanessa has lost her mind over it. I was actually quite lucky to get any wine at all, as McCusker insisted that everyone working in the restaurant down to the dishwasher should try some. — 6 years ago

This is an excellent example of honey, vanilla, toasted brioche, and very elegant body. Refined bubbles reminiscent of the Dom Ruinart.

Please make time to get a tour from this wonderful gentlemen. Jesus you have an inviting personality that is old school in every way!

Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Well, I fired up a couple of fullblood waygu fillets for tonight (and Vanessa made a KILLER polenta), so the competition was tough. This is a terrific cab nevertheless. Classic nose of black fruits, violet, cedar, and black currants with a hint of leather. Not as tannic as I was expecting, but still had enough backbone to keep it interesting. If you have this, I’d suggest waiting a couple of years, as I suspect it will be more interesting once it starts acquiring more secondary flavors. Still a terrific cab! — 6 years ago

Body, structure with 10 years at least potential per Vanessa (Winemaker). This will be something (it is already something actually). Love bouquet and tannin balance. Aging will likely develop amazing complexity. — 7 years ago

Les Titans Estate Sonoma Coast Syrah 2008

A very beautiful wine from a difficult vintage - long, wet spring; short, hot spring and botrytis in even some cooler coastal vineyards. Bright, dark currant/cranberry and white pepper. As it opens, mid-palate brings the more heady meaty character. Nice job, Vanessa! — 10 years ago
