What a beautiful representation of a balanced Burgundian Chardonnay - from the warmer climats of Burgundy. Rich and round on the palette with stone fruit and a balanced creaminess from the oak élevage. Medium alcohol and medium+ acidity. Lacks some of the minerality of a grand cru burg. — 7 months ago

Can't wait to put some age on these other bottles. Tha and, @Rajat Parr — 6 years ago
Love it! Wish I had a case. Strawberries, ocean mist, cranberry, floral notes, also some cream like getting into champagne style. — 17 days ago

A SPECTACULAR Pinot from @Rajat Parr as we start cooking dinner — 5 years ago
Certainly have a soft spot for Raj Parr but this is a very nice Pinot, especially for the price. Probably would have guessed Oregon blind. Definitely one to give some air and follow its evolution, though it’s good at varied stages along the way. Lots of earthiness, but the darkish red fruits and some spice really shine through. A bit less acid on the finish than I tend to look for but still a balanced and delicious wine. — 6 years ago
The Never Say Never Cabernet Sauvignon from Raj Parr is sourced from the Dead Fred Vineyard in Napa Valley's Coombsville AVA, which is organically farmed by Steve Mathiasson. This traditional style Cabernet shows wonderful elegance and refinement, as it opens to inviting aromas of dark/red currants, red berry tea, zesty florals, tobacco, crushed graphite and a savory/herbal character that all take shape and emerge gracefully from the glass. On the palate this possesses a gorgeous medium-body that is impeccably balanced and well-structured with velvety tannins and wonderful acidity providing terrific freshness. It goes on to impress with its lovely bright character, displaying delicious mouth watering flavors of currants, crushed violets, fresh tobacco and zesty undertones which continue to linger all the way through the precisely focused finish. The 2016 is a beautifully crafted Cabernet that shows plenty of energy and verve in its youth, however readers should allow this beauty some time to settle down and mature, as it shows incredible promise to evolve and age exceptionally well for years to come. — 7 years ago
Textural. Definitely some skin contact but just a bit. Really shines as it warms and opens up. Last glass was the best. Very good. — 3 months ago

Only the deepest respect for Raj Parr. Used to love his seven springs and sandhi wines, though he’s no longer associated with either. This is his new project and the wines are singing. — a month ago
