As of 2021 vintage, he is the winemaker at Carter but you probably already know that. I love his Adversity Cellars wines. The best Chardonnay under $100 IMO and the Melanson Cab is incredible.

    3/18/2023 9:36:00 AM - Mark and WGDM, appreciate your recommendations on quality St. Emilions that won’t break the bank. Also I enjoyed the comments on Collector1855’s TN for the LdH.

    3/18/2023 3:35:00 AM - I just blocked collector1855. He's had the entire thread removed about the LDH and is no longer accepting comments on any of his wines. What a douche. Another good St. Em is Bellevue, not Mondotte. Make sure it says Bellevue- St. Em on the label. Next door neighbor to Angelus, bought by them in '07 and made by Angelus winemaker now. 100% merlot most years and quite good for $40/bottle. Cheers! Mark

    11/19/2017 5:39:00 PM - JLuch1 - Thanks for your note on the 2012 Aiken PNV. I have not tried it since tasting from the barrel PNV week that year. As you know, 2012 was a great vintage for Napa -as were 2013 and 2014. I have had some of my 2012s and found them much more accessible that the 13s, which are more tannic and potentially 50 year wines...:) The 2012 vintage drinks well now but should cellar for some time if you want to let it develop. If you only have 2 bottles, I would probably let it sit a while longer, Hope this helps...Cheers
