A fine burgundy near its prime. Some residual fruit (including medicinal/herbal) but also the emergence of secondary flavors; hint of leather. $109.99. Tasty but at this price point may look elsewhere. — 3 years ago

71 PV, 15 Cf, 14 Merlot….classic Jefferson…no complaints considering the Just ok/challenged vintage. Loads of blue fruit the first day, and day 2 is The emergence of maraschino cherries. Acid is sufficient and tannins friendly. Essentially, a big BERRY Monticello hug ;) — 2 years ago

Pretty pale straw with a thin rim. What more is there really to say about Dan Petroski’s Massican wines? Beautifully expressive nose featuring a nice mixture of citrus fruit and floral flourishes. Crisp green apples, apricots, white flowers, and lemon rinds. The nose starts off as fresh and vibrant but becomes more nuanced over time with the emergence of honey.

Mostly Tocai Friulano and Ribolla Gialla with a splash of Chardonnay thrown in, he’s bringing Italy to California. There’s just a hint of oak through the mid palate with remarkable structure. Rich and full, there’s vibrant acidity. Clean and hyper focused without ever coming close to feeling like a run of the mill supermarket bottle. You know as soon as you open this that it’s elevated stuff, expertly crafted.

On the palate, more citrus fruit abounds. Apricot jam, honeysuckle, and melon. Stone minerality and green pepper play the background. Tons of delicious herbs that last forever. Very round and pretty on the finish. Every single one of these Massican wines are gorgeous in their own way but this one may be the best.

The emergence of Crown Gap is showing up in great Pinots throughout Sonoma. And this is one to know. — 4 years ago

Pale ruby color. Expressive nose of strawberry, coffee bean, tobacco leaf, cedar, and pleasant floral notes. On the palate, it’s medium bodied with vibrant acidity and medium, dusty tannins. Overall, soft and approachable, yet structured, this wine is drinking well right now and gives more evidence of the emergence of Virginia wine. — 7 years ago

Even after decanting and letting this sit for almost 2 hours, I still feel like I'm committing infaticide. In reality, I suspect this is transitioning, as some of the primary components are getting muted by the emergence of secondary flavors. But then again, who are we kidding? Layers of aromatics, impeccable balance, and a 60+ second finish, this is awesome juice! — 8 years ago
