Matt has always had an ace up his sleeve – 125-year-old vineyards planted on the rolling Delhi sand just across the bay by his grandfather and a few other family friends. The bush-trained vines struggle each year to produce the tiniest amount of fruit producing wines of immense character unlike anything you’ve ever tasted anywhere in the U.S.
When we offered this back in April, it was quickly gobbled up by Zinfandel lovers. But that was before the critics spoke. This summer, both Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast wrote glowing 91-pt score (the latter gave it an Editors’ Choice designation) reviews about the wine. We got a little worried. Would the wine still be around in the fall? Yes, yes it would. As long as we didn’t wait until November!
This is a must buy for any fans of big, dense, complex wines and the one Zinfandel blend that gets Napa Cab fans raving.

91 Pts, Wine Spectator
Refined and well-built, with vibrant wild berry, smoky sage and pepper flavors that take on speed toward polished tannins. Drink now through 2025.
91 Pts, (Editors’ Choice) Wine Enthusiast
This wine is a good all-around performer that starts with effusive berry and spice aromas, followed by mouth filling raspberry and blackberry flavors. Interesting nuances of dried herbs and light oak tones arise on the full-bodied palate.
This is a must buy for any fans of big, dense, complex wines and seemingly the one Zinfandel blend that gets Napa Cab fans raving.

“The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
