Love this every vintage. As is par for the course, this is a little fizzy (barely) for the first couple months after release, so just decant an hour before or the day before and you’re good to go. So smooth, lighter than last vintage but pure drinking pleasure. Super food friendly with blackberry cobbler, blueberries, savory thyme, au jus and nice thin tannins to the finish.

Wow this was a surprise. You can tell the age, (bought at auction) but it’s fetching and pairs well with bbq steak. Shows it’s pedigree for sure. Enjoyed over 3 days. — 4 months ago

Wow! I thought at first taste this needed decanting, but got busy cooking and had another taste and it opened nicely. Enjoyed this over 2 days. So food friendly! Also smooth enough for sipping on it’s own. Mouth coating fruit and a long finish. — 3 months ago

This was better than I expected. Bought at release. Solid wine, pretty florals with a super smooth finish. Good wine for red meat (stewed or grilled). Enjoyed for 2 days. — 4 months ago

Wow, very cool. These wines from Mia still around or no?

No not available. We have some magnums and don’t really have high hopes (storage). Mia didn’t sell magnums often. Mostly kept for winemaker dinners. These have been under our house or in the garage (after being top shelf in the warehouse for years). The vineyard was Madrone Ranch in St Helena (91 thru 97) when Merlot was less desirable and reasonably priced. Let me know next time you up this way and I’ll leave you some bottles to pickup. Just know it’s fun and tonight it was a real treat!

Didn’t know it was Madrone Ranch. Great history. And thanks for the offer! I may have to take you up on that one day!
