11/27/2023 - dalemosier Likes this wine: 92 pointsHalf way between my two previous scores. Like it being less fruit forward, but having some body. Agree with a previous note that it is not likely to get any better. |

10/7/2023 - Guarded by Griffs Likes this wine: 94 pointsStill amazing. Mellow but full of flavor. The acid is very light. Oak still shows. A very light lemon balancing sweet floral honey. Thanks to a gone label. I have one of these left. Might drink next year |

7/11/2023 - hosscrow Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis wine offers pinot layered characteristics in spades. Medium ruby garnet color starting to show rim variation. Drink now. Opens with an intense blackberry nose, followed by baking spices, then cola beautifully balancing the fruit with a softly textured medium plus acidity and low tannins. Moderate length finish Even with its cool climate, Toulouse Vineyard/Anderson valley shows fewer forest floor and mushroomy notes than its Oregon neighbors. Too bad that Mac Phail is gone as theirs were some of California's most elegant wines. |

2014 MacPhail Pinot Noir Sundawg Ridge VineyardSonoma Coast more |
7/8/2023 - Explorateur Likes this wine: 92 pointsMy last bottle of sundawg ridge that James Macphail made (as off 2015 the Hess winemaker took over). It went beautifully with brined and grilled pork loin with peach/burata/mint salad! Love this. Feels like saying goodbye to an era and very much enjoyed it. |

6/13/2023 - PLiu Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis is the best make-out kiss. Smells so good going in, as my nose dives into the bulbous Reidel glass. And once the taste receptors take over, it's clear, the menthol inflicted, ripe, and groovy aromas are a reminder of why some Sonoma Coast wines are great, even if vilified once in awhile. |

6/4/2023 - dalemosier Likes this wine: 94 pointsTasted MacPhail 2018 vs WH Smith Maritime 2016. Smith was good; MacPhail was better - brighter fruit good acid balance. Probably close to peak now. |

2015 MacPhail Chardonnay Vine Hill Road Pratt VineyardRussian River Valley more |
6/4/2023 - Guarded by Griffs Likes this wine: 96 pointsLiterally they don’t make this anymore. But, hunt down grapes from this vineyard. 14.7% but the viscosity feels like it should be higher. Seaweed on the nose. Oak and a little muted pepper in the mouth. A drop of honey at the end. |

5/7/2023 - Guarded by Griffs Likes this wine: 95 pointsOak faded to the back. Still a little acid. Structure game is still strong. Very nice. That said, you’re rolling the dice if you wait much longer. |

2013 MacPhail Pinot Noir Mardikian VineyardSonoma Coast more |
4/23/2023 - Vinofitz wrote: 94 pointsSo sad this wine is gone forever. The 2013 has aged magnificently. Firm base of silly tannins. The fruit is moved from hard cherry candy to black fruits and molasses. Nose is still cherry and rose but develops on the palate into a mature, great expression of California Pinot. A quietly amazing wine. |
