It’s been a year and half since my last bottle. This wine just speaks to me, always has. Blueberry compote nose. Blueberry pie, blackberry, ripe fruit, fantastic mouthfeel. So easy. So glad I bought a case and a half years ago, wish I had got more. Perhaps drinking better now than ever. Wish they still made this cuvée. — 8 months ago

From WM What’s Jason Drinking class 11/20/21. Couldn’t bring myself to open for class and had with Nashville hot chicken for Thgvg. Perfect mousse. Lemon pith, minerality, dry (near zero dosage). — 5 years ago

My first wheeler farms wine

Had never heard of this winery until we visited TOR in Napa in 2023 and wheeler farms is their de facto winery

Started off a bit tight and then opened up and was solid fruit with smooth delivery about 1 hour in. Shut back down and went darker at hour 3. Good wine but expected more

2016 vintage. Last tasted 02.07.24 (9.4). Still medium-heavy body but the alcohol/flavors enduring a bit of angst currently. Hot alcohol hits front palate, then fruit, then 18-wheeler tannins. Tasting as if it fell apart and needs a magic wand to meld it all back together. Still, fairly impressive tasting the holy trinity simultaneously, yet separately, and with unexpected composure given the lack of quality pavement for this 1974 De Tomaso Pantera. 01.20.25. — a year ago

I’ve had many older vintages from Wm Fevre and after 15 years they start to fade but this bottle is perfection. Youthful green tinged color, green apple/lime nose, taut palate with just enough bottle age to add richness and roundness. — 4 years ago

Thought it was white, imagine my surprise when I poured it to follow a rose. Zut alors! Very delicious, well balanced. 2016 needed a few mins to unwind. Where did it come from??? Lay and Wheeler? — 6 years ago

A young wine, that will only get better. It’s big and bold, big ripe red and black fruit. Big chewy tannins that have softened up a bit but are still bold. Solid acidity, gonna age well. Also getting licorice, pencil shavings. Very good, will save the rest for a few years down the road. — 10 months ago

Not too often do you get to drink 100% petit Verdot. My last bottle after 2-3 the last few years. Double decanted, then consumed from bottle over the course of 6hrs.

Special anniversary bottling. 36 months in oak. Right off the bat, I’d say the wine likely needed/benefitted from that amount of oak due to how brash PV can be solo, but I’d also say it’s probably going to cause the tannin to outlive the fruit. Not as black as I expected in the glass, more of a deep red-purple. Aromatics of ripe red and black berry fruits, baking spices, dark cocoa, and dark espresso. For being all PV slathered in a lot of oak, it’s very elegant on the palate…seems like a merlot/Mourvèdre hybrid with its black cherry cordial, chocolate and slightly smoked meat notes. There’s a unique tangy-ness to the fruit, and a lot of tannin at the finish. No rush, but if you want a good bit of fruit to balance things out, maybe consume in the next 3-5yrs. — 3 years ago
