The 2019 La Conseillante was stellar from the sample sent to "Martin Towers" in spring 2020, and the news is that there is no change in bottle. Allowed to open while gossiping away with winemaker Marielle Cazaux (you have to catch up when you are unable to see people regularly), the 2019 unveils an awesome, extraordinarily pure bouquet that seduces the senses, featuring dark cherries, blueberry, pressed violet and a touch of blood orange, all displaying wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied and cohesive, with fine-grained tannins and a judicious touch of black pepper toward the finish, which fans out gloriously while maintaining a sense of class. The best La Conseillante since the 2010? No - better. (Neal Martin, Vinous, February 2022)

This Melka / Skipstone ‘Preface’ towers in tiered structure. As a preview wine for the prominent portfolio, it is accurate and a relative bargain. Great stuff! — 4 years ago

Pale yellow brown in color. Some apple variety character in nose. Semisweet, good apple flavor, slightly skin astringency in finish. 6.3% alc/vol. — 5 years ago

There are wines and then there are experiences that are worth living for. It is to sip this beautiful, nuanced blend of nuts, jam and nectar infused with just the right amount of smoke and tart to keep you leaning forward by the nose and your finger motions on "bottoms up and repeat" until your glass is empty. Good luck on keeping your bottle’s wine level north of the bottom line for any meaningful amount of time. To say buy it by the caskets would be an understatement. Buy the entire winery and build a 20 foot wall around it! Then send the bill to Trump Towers. — 6 years ago
