Estate Bottled Mendocino County Cabernet Sauvignon 1978

At Mark Paul NYD Party old Cab series. This one first opened, cork was in great shape and came out in one piece. A shocker! Precious bottles had a distinctive metallic iron note but this one is clean and just lovely classic old Cab notes of cigar box leather and sinuous texture and finish. Opened up with time!! Last one I’m afraid. Butch Mark all raved — 3 months ago

At Mark Paul NYD Party old Cab series. Continuing with old Cab series. Equally surprising as the McDowell but a totally different profile, with more oxidative notes as expected for such an age and with rounder texture and shorter finish — 3 months ago

California Rosé Blend 2017

Pale peach in color. Muted aromas of peach and orange peel. Nice fruit and acidity on the palate accompanied by stony minerality. Made from a combination of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Counoise from the Windmill vineyard in the Dunnigan Hills of Yolo County, Syrah from the Hurley Vineyard in Napa Valley, and Grenache from the Gibson Ranch in the McDowell Valley of Mendocino County. Whole cluster pressed then fermented and aged on the lees in stainless steel without malolactic fermentation. Very quaffable at only 11.2%. $24. — 8 years ago
