2019 vintage. Drinking more like that Caterwaul stuff vs straight Regusci juice but whatevs. Acting up and showing/throwing medium juicy/fleshy w/o the SLD soft tannic boundaries/guidelines so far but needs both a time-out and a nap to reset. Block 1 is the problem child apparently. We'll see in a year. 4.12.23. — 3 years ago

Ahhhhh....Ayze. Alpine fresh air on the nose. Wild flowers. Super airy and clean. I did not get cider like my partner @Matthew Cohen did. Super complex. So many unique and Gringet like scents. Hard to describe. Palate is wonderfully elegant and super expressive with major acidity and freshness. This needs air. Structure is dominant the first 15 minutes then it gets more expressive on the palate. Lovely tension on the finish. Super geeky and super delicious. — 7 years ago

This must be a great wine! I opened it for a family dinner and it all but disappeared before I could get a few ounces! Dark fruits and licorice with balanced tannins. I will have to buy more! — 7 years ago

Outstanding. While Pinot Noir typically speaks to a place, this one does not tell you that it is from California. Lovely age worthy Burgundy style Pinot. — a year ago

At the Woodlands Dinner at Walters Steak House in Brisbane last Wednesday hosted by one of the family owners, Andrew Watson. The premium cuvée each year is named after Family members or friends. 2014 was “Matthew “. Drinking a 5 year old Cabernet of this quality from Magnum is akin to infanticide but one can see the undoubted potential there. Cellar for up to 20 years. Definitely one of the icon Cabs of Margaret River. A lovely blend of Cassis and Herbaceous notes. Medium to full bodied with a finish that goes on forever. Outstanding. — 7 years ago

It’s been called “the greatest wine you’ve never heard of” or a true “unicorn” wine but is inarguably an under the radar California legend. In the early 2000’s it ran away with the title at a CA recreation of the 1976 Judgment of Paris. Google the wine and learn a little about Mario Gemello and this vintage in particular. Fun stuff. This was over the hill IMO but gets a 90 for coolness factor alone. From the master of the Durand @Matthew Beckman — 8 years ago

I really liked it! Had it with dinner at home with my handsome guy. It was thicker than he likes but perfect for me. Slightly Smokey. — 3 years ago

Think aged Shiraz is underrated. This really hit the spot. Showed really well with a surprising amount of fruit left and was a delicious bottle. — 5 years ago

2017 Merlot. Fine finish. If you’re in love with merlot, as we are, you may find this wine to have the rich ground flavors of Napa with the finish of fine Bordeaux. Iaconis, I hug you. — 6 years ago

While it also showed extremely youthful the ‘07 was on another level and IMO had shed more tannin than the ‘06. It was my last sip of the night and it was plush and beautiful and rounding out incredibly. Potential high 90’s wine in 10 years. Thank you @Matthew Beckman — 7 years ago

Delish! With a friend on a smoky night in SF. Slight buttery taste but not in a chardonnay way. Like real butter mixed with lemon citrus. — 8 years ago
