Musbrugger Grauer Burgunder 2016

9.3

Great nose. Smokey, stone fruits, red apple, super vivid, what stunning minerality. Great nose, staring to get secondary. Wood shavings. Palate is rich and opulent yet tense and invigorating. Great tensile finish. So long. Precise and linear. The Z man can do it elite at all price points. This is crazy good and age only adds. As this airs it fills out and gets chewy and concentrated and retains its elite freshness and length. Almost a 9.4. — 3 years ago

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2013

Well. These vintages are becoming rarer and rarer now that Beyoncé and Jay Z popularize it. Plum, graphite, tobacco on the nose. Poised and elegant on the palate, with silky fruit, fine grain tannins and a minera edge to it 👌🏻 — a month ago

They still do a good job, even after "selling out" 😅

Lügle Baden Weissburgunder 2018

9.4

Such a terrific Weissburgunder. The Z man strikes again. Nose is a bit quiet off the bat. Maybe it’s a bit cold. But there is apple, mineral and some smoke. I’ll update once it gets a bit warmer. Palate is just immaculate. Ripe and rich but so precise and the limestone tingles throughout. Nose starting to get fresh cut almond slices. Such a great combo of ripe and round juxtaposed with intense jagged limestone and terrific acid structure. Such a serious wine. I sell for like $25. Just an absurd value here. Really concentrated, complex and structured. Tonight this reminds me of the 18 Brisset Cuvee Cassaneas. Out of this world. Nose has such an insane stank after 20 minutes and warning up. Sweet spices. Ocean air. Salt. This is a stunning wine. — 3 years ago

Capital Z Lodi Zinfandel

Had the 2021 in September of 2023. Never know what to expect from a WSJ wine but this one was fantastic. Big fruits with a hint of spice. Paired fantastic with bbq ribs and garlic mashed potatoes. Had all the typical zin flavors with a body to back it up. Hope to be able to get more of this one. — 2 years ago

Study of Cali Pinot, the bookends of A to Z. From Domaine de La Cote to Kosta Browne. For what is expected to be a Pinot lollipop, this 7 year old bad boy has developed a lovely savory profile. — 3 years ago
