Wouldn’t be the first time I had to do this. I once ordered Beta from the side of a highway in South Georgia after visiting a customer knowing it was going to sell out pretty quickly.
Was pretty sure, but might have just been Beta - saw a ton for auction over the past month or two, and a few at retail. (multiple vintages,multiple vineyards)
I think many are realizing the style of wine is or isn’t for them. Many, many notes on CT citing disappointment with the wine, from both Napa and self proclaimed AFWE “AF”. Very wine range of scores for this wine on CT. I imagine there are a few on the list with fear of dropping or missing Jasud - versus actually liking the wine.
I personally think if the wines flesh out over time, they are going to be killer. I 95’d my last Beta… a very high score from me… for 2019 Montecillo… can taste the balance, stoniness and austerity now… it was brutish young and needed to soften - and flesh out. Wish I could try the 2012 Montecillo to get a better read of the future!
