Tyler Mae estate santa Rita hills reserve
N: closed
P: elegantly rich. Young. Lovely acidity. Good density. — 7 months ago
Gorgeous wine. This is just stellar. In 2-3 years this will be a 10. Herbs, oregano, orange rind, strawberry, plenty of acid, quite tannic, black currants, cranberries, lime, hint of plum. It was a warm vintage. For all the folks who had trouble with the 17’s. I hear you - might have been outliers. Ever since E&M really rocked. My 17’s big boys were for some reason actually pretty good and i plan to keep them for another 2-3 years or so. — 2 years ago

Dear Friends warning this wine needs 48 hours to open up! I kept it for that time under Argon!
Still think the 2015 Muschelkalk mights have peaked. I opened 3 bottles. The first was oxidized and the other 2 were good to world class. The cork on all three was quite soft.
The wine has this ethereal character but the twisty black forest herbs are somewhat gone. It is still great to drink - but to shine one needs stupido patience.
Calk, very faint cherry. (Collecting E&M since 2009. And have been at the winery every other year.).
If you have it you must really experiment and play around but also - drink it up! Not a wine for normal or sane people.
#Will check 2015 Bundsandstein and IDA next. — 22 days ago
