It always gets me in trouble!
Lupina
@Roy_Piper Thank you so much for taking the time to taste with Reid and for the great write up. I enjoyed the wine so much I really was doubting myself.
As I am sure you know reviews like yours, especially from a winemaker with your reputation, are so helpful to new brands and in many ways more important than professional critics.
The tidings bottling is lupina?
These certainly sound interesting and glad to see the pricing on the syrahs is within reason of what many charge down here. @Roy_Piper or @Robert_Dentice - any word if they will continue to get syrah from down here or it was a one time thing?
Cheers
Still receiving all the same vineyards and adding a new Cab vineyard on Moon Mtn starting next year.
anyone with experience, Is the cab an early drinker, or does it need to laydown for a decade plus?
If heās sharing fruit with Ketan, unless itās a new site to Ketan he hasnāt poured for us then my guess is Lupina since thatās new to Ketan for 19āā¦and on Moon Mountain.
Based on the bottle I had last night I would say either near term or long term. Reid recommended a 6 hour decant which I did not have time to do. I did notice considerable improvement over 2 hours. It paired beautifully with a I Sodi young roast chicken! Still thinking about itā¦
Glen, that was frigginā fabulous! ![]()

What a write-up. Thanks, Roy. This is the content we pay for here! ![]()
I emailed Reid and asked him about the moon mountain 2019 wine. He said itās called Moonridge vineyard. The highest elevation vineyard in the moon mountain district.
Today is the day. It has been a long time since I signed up for a new California Cab mailing list! I did sign up for Phelan Farms but that is not Napa.
10:00 PST / 1 EST first come first serve
Didnāt the bottle say Sonoma?
Yeah your correct! I was thinking cab. I will edit. Thanks.
I do not generally put my name on mailing lists to buy wine completely blind. On the other hand, the last time Dentice recommended that I do so, I jumped at the chance and ended up on the original MacDonald list before they even chose what label they were going to use. I just signed up for this one and left a comment that so long as their half is good as McDonald, Iām in. Does anyone know anything about the wine?
