Arrived yesterday, large wood box, my crafty neighbor will recycle into something, a hope chest, hope the next box is smaller. Bottle, too large toe insert into any of my racks, but still, slightly better than the Zin from heaven in the bottle from hell, in short, they stack. First sniff, a hint of the family tree. Clean vapors of clean fruit treated with loving care rise from the glass. First sip, nice, pure p@$ty remover, subtle cascade of Syrah flavors leave me happy and satisfied. easy 99pts
New from Keenan, Mataro, also called Mourvèdre. Nice cherry on the nose. First sip, woodsy, brisk but in a good way. Little bit of sexy funk, and slow roasted pork belly add up to a rich brew. Perfect match for a good cigar. easy 93 pts

First sip, rich, dense layer of fresh fruit paste, like a twizzler flavor yet to be invented. Its the 4th, Aubert Chard, the perfect start to any party, especially on a warm summer day. Like a ballerina on her toes delivering all basics and pleasing with each visit. easy 95 pts
