Métisse Jumping Goat Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Wow. This wine delivered against wagyu strip steaks and then on its own

Great balance and deep fruit flavors.

These both opened up in stages, drank them side by side and at first the opus was better. Then mouton opened up and was a big presence in the room — a month ago

Philippe Pacalet

Pommard Pinot Noir 2015

About every quarter or so i get to try a wine which just strikes me like thunder - this is such a wine. This one has a story (I met Pacalet in Encinitas - a total introvert but genius and bought 6 bottles). Earth, autumn leaves, iron, hint cherry, tannins fully resolved. Tamarind? Touch tumeric. A wine at its peak. 🍑 Peach!!! Heaven on earth what a wine! — 4 months ago

CJ Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2015

The CJ isn’t up to my Melka expectation, it is a lower cost product, but it is ok at 10 years old. It did take awhile to open up. — 15 days ago
