Mystery Champagne. Glad I went for it. Even the non-Champagne drinkers are loving it. — a year ago

It is a beast of a wine, majority Mourvèdre with 20 pct Grenache. Always a bit of a mystery of a wine, big tannins yet also delicate. All red fruit, can be drunk but would wait at least another 5 years. — 3 years ago

One of my favorite experiences in drinking will always be the sense of mystery that some wines possess. This unusual blend of Malvasia di Lipari and Carricante somehow transcends both grapes, with a synthesis that yields a unique character - marzipan, chamomile, Meyer lemon and candle wax layered over a wet cement minerality that lingers, vibrating with energy in the finish. The volcano speaks. Aging beautifully, but sadly this is my last bottle. — 3 years ago

From Brian Harrington:
In 2015, cuttings from a vine thought to be Nerello Mascalese were sourced from a vineyard in Sicily’s Mount Etna. The cuttings were shipped to California, government quarantined for two years then planted at Sumu Kaw Vineyard. After a year in the ground DNA testing found the vine not to be Nerello Mascalese but an unknown variety which does not match any of the over 28,000 grapevine varieties in the viticultural DNA database. Grapes from this “no name“ vine were used to make the singular wine which is truly a “mystery of Mount Etna“. — 2 years ago

Dec 12, 2020. Spontaneous US Pinot tasting w/C. This from Last Bottle mystery case. Wow! It’s a winner. Cranberry, mushroom, and slight earth on the nose. Lots going on. Complex with a lot of length. Lovely, subtle and well balanced. — 3 years ago

Balanced with earth and cherry. Definitely still cherry forward but more developed. A nice get from the library mystery box — 2 years ago

Very nice Cab franc blend (plus 46% Merlot 4% Cab Saug) from JR mystery 101 mixed vintages. Dark fruits blueberries herbs and no green overtones but grippy but balanced texture and finish to complement somewhat spicy sausages with tomatoes and pasta. 281 cases. — 3 years ago

Pleasantly surprised by this! Part of the mystery case and drank well — very light but earthy and not overly cherry or dry. — 3 years ago
