Lineup below. I’ll probably pass on the Cabs…but I’m 1000% in for the PS. On the fence with the Mortar and Stone - does anyone know what grapes are in the blend? The description sounds tasty, but would love to hear some feedback on it…

2012 Mending Wall Cabernet Sauvignon
2013 Mending Wall Cabernet Sauvignon
2014 Mending Wall Cabernet Sauvignon
2014 Mending Wall Petite Sirah
2014 Mending Wall Mortar and Stone

Response from Mending Wall.

The 2014 Mortar & Stone is a blend of 45% Syrah (previously planted on the Mending Wall estate), 40% Zinfandel (old Dr. Krupp planting from Atlas Peak), and 15% Petite Sirah (from the Palisades Vineyard in Calistoga, formerly known as Carver-Sutro). We produced 500 cases, aged in French oak barriques for 15 months, with 50% of the barrels brand new. Both Antonio Galloni and Robert Parker were thrilled and intrigued with the blend when they visited!

Nice, thanks David. Pretty sure I’ll be Pobega’ing one of these shortly after they arrive…
