  June 6, 2017 - Well it was not exactly L&M Red but a clone of it. Vintage 2010.
  The story is I saw this wine in local store with label Et Al. No other info about producer. Made in Calistoga red wine.
  The shape was Harlan Estate (very distinctive) and label and back sticker were made of the same print.
  I asked store manager were this come from and he said his boss was touring Napa, liked this wine and brought a case to sell. He admitted later wine made by Martha M
  Not cheap but not even close to Harlan or L&M Red.
  I took few bottles home and open one at Vitner's Grill in Vegas last week. Asked server to decant and that turned out to be a beauty. Drunk for 2 hours with fine steak. Clearly needs longer decanting.
  This was a wow wine all the way. Very young and brooding. Massive size still looking for a balance. Like an adolescent with many talents drifting in many directions. Loads of dark fruit and layers of flavors
  The nose was a perfection.
  A fine pedigree of this wine speaks volumes.
  This will turn out to be a superstar in 5-6 years and last for 10+ with ease.
  I guess it is one of their private ventures for members only like Napa Valley Reserve.
  Get it if you find it!
