  May 28, 2023 - This wine (though now 8 years old) seems to be in the Once camp: enjoy now. More on the red fruited and soft tannin spectrum than expected, though in a very pleasing way. Very aromatic. Drink now?

  January 31, 2023 - Mourvèdre (Mataro) conjures thoughts of deep, dark, tannic, and often rustic wines. Not everywhere is Bandol, and this Once & Future bottling has a fresher, brighter profile. Red fruit, dusty trail and sun-drenched herb aromas come out at first. Time allows a woodsy (not wood) element into the mix. The palate is barely medium weight, and so quite refreshing, focused on red cherry fruit and more of the dusty trail, along with a hint of worn leather. Tannins are only moderately present, and well balanced to the fruit. It’s a really well put together wine that is enjoyable to drink. That’s really what it’s for, right!

  October 1, 2022 - Well made Mataro. A bit lighter than I expected it would be. Red and blue fruits, floral aromas on nose. Tannins had integrated into the wine

  February 24, 2021 - Surprisingly tasty. Had the depth of California fruit with the balance of an alpine red. Was open plenty on pnp. Stayed consistent on day two.
