oh how sweet it is, I am biased here watching this 2017 during the 2023 world series. Means a lot to a LA native and Arizona transplant. So many emotion swirling around my tongue — 3 years ago

A cheery mix of coconut, unripe pineapple, and tannins. I love this Monterey wine. It reminds me of the old days, of a college party with music, booze, frat guys, and Malibu Rum. — 9 years ago

Just got into Napa from a long day of traveling. Starting in Malibu for India's MBA graduation to Napa for celebrations! We decided to grab a heavy varietal and stick with Napa. This wine was a deep and dark ruby red, actually almost purplish black that completely coated the glass. Very interesting nose that was a little tight to start. Finally opened up over the next hour with some blackberries and freshly broken branches. Started with some softer dark fruits, but also coated with thick blackberries. Not overly sweet at all. Moderate tannins (7/10) and moderate plus body. Some red berries with their bright acidity near the finish. Moderate plus finish. Can see this becoming more integrated with time. Drink till 2022. 89+ — 10 years ago

2009 and 2010 are consistent in style and quality. Raspberry and dark red fruit skins. More Bordeaux than California in flavor, balance and finish. 09 has more persistent fruit while 10 has meatier and earthier nose and body. — 6 years ago

Dark and deep like the name. Drinking smokey deep dark purple velvet in a glass. Floral yet brooding and dark. A long time favorite. Decant at least one hour. Will age well. — 8 years ago

From a 16 acre vineyard in the hills of Bel Air. Probably the most expensive vineyard property in the US. It’s currently owned by Rupert Murdoch, but this is from before his purchase in 2013. This is legit good. Much better than any Malibu wines I’ve had. 13.8 listed alcohol and fairly restrained style. Let’s rip down all of those mansions and plant some grapes! — 4 years ago

Good all round dry vermouth. Goes well in cocktails as it does not overwhelm. Will not ruin a good gin. Also decent as an aperitif over ice or with soda. — 6 years ago

Seriously, Malibu. Do you have to use an inch of wax to seal every bottle? You're really making me work for this one. Ripe black cherry and baking spice entices the nose. Young bright and fun on the palate. It's definitely equipped for aging across the decade. Just have a machete handy to bust through that wax. Paired tonight's offering with a massive rare tomahawk steak. Nom nom. — 8 years ago
