  February 16, 2024 - Fairest Creatures and Where to Find Them (K&L Wine Merchant - Redwood City): Nose: A light stone and mineral coating on fresh but dark red and blue fruits, gentle earth and light red flowers. A light, dried oak doesn't trail far behind the fruits.
  
  Palate: Dark red and black brooding fruits, spiced earth with dried tree bark. Bright graphite sprinkled over dark earth. The graphite slowly turns dark into the finish. A gentle savoriness from minerals brings the earth the life.
  
  Just so Melka-ish in all the good ways. Nice broodish character but kept in balance with the other notes. This is like Melka posting photos of his own wines on his social media, then putting the captions, "IYKYK."

  February 16, 2024 - Mirror Mirror on Wall, who's the Fairest of them All? (KLWines and Flemings): This format really stresses more the winemaker. When speaking to Jayson, his approach was to move away from the SVD model and instead, showcase the winemaker and the styles of each. When asked about the vineyards, he did not want to disclose the vineyards used in the wines. Winemakers allowed to make the vast majority of the decisions, whether it is barrel choice, new vs old oak, how much juice from which vineyard, etc. Jayson was involved in the final blending for all wines.
  
  Lots of red fruits, balanced nose. Big wine, lots of structure and complex. Long finish. Also clearly very TRB in feel on the nose and palate.
