Had, in my opinion, the two best domestic whites to kick off the morning. Different wines, for sure, but my wife unabashedly said MOWE takes the crown.

Is that the '21 Marcassin?

Yea, this was the 21. Just landed a few weeks ago, so wanted to check em out
I believe that they sold out the Sauvignon Blanc in one day, and about a week for the Cabernet. They have miniscule production #'s. The wines are amazing. Top Rank. And they are some of nicest and most genuine people in the business.

I opened ā23 over the weekend and loved it. My wife and I opened as we started to cook dinner and had the last glass with dessert. Beautiful wine that was enjoyable now but even better with air, and I assume age.

Thoughts? My case went directly down to cellar.

Was delightful. Balanced. But itās also almost the only oaked domestic chard that I drink. I generally prefer no malo, no oak for american and most commonly malo with neutral oak (Rav) for burg/chablis. However, when the oak is used judiciously as in Marc (and the MOWE SB fwiw) or grand cru burg etc, I am good with it. The acid is a touch low in 21 which is why i would guess they released early. Drinking really well right now. The MOWE sb is, as usual, lights out every time we pull a cork. Like sticking ur finger in an outlet while gettin a hummer with a tropical punch to the face. Itās intense. But an awesome intense

I was hoping to see Moweās SB top the JSā list. IMO would easily have ranked up near Eisele and Spottswoode.

I know we (WB) are ahead of the game but I have not seen any critic reviews of MOWE and I am happy for it to stay like that

Thanks for the love on the SB guys. We are pretty excited with what we are doing with the vineyard and for what ends up in bottle. Our ultimate measuring stick is Cellartracker (thank you for creating such an amazing platform (@Eric_LeVine ). In our humble opinion that community voice (as well as here at WB) is much stronger than a single critics voice.

My wife and I had the pleasure of tasting with @D_Mowe and Renee this weekend. The wines were excellent, and the people behind them were even better. Weāre excited to see MOWEās continued success and would highly recommend joining the list.

Iām opening my first SB on vacation next week, 2023. Anyone have any recent experience on prep? Give it some air, or rip it and sip it?
If youāve got time, Iād open and enjoy it as it evolves slowly over a couple of hours. I like going along for the ride when I can and being on leisure vacation youāll probably enjoy it more that way. Would definitely reserve a small amount to taste the next day just for science.

My friends and I had the lovely opportunity to taste with @D_Mowe and Renee on our recent visit to Napa. The hospitality they showed us was outstanding. The wines themselves are what made me fall in love with Napa Cabernet when my wine journey began. Made in the traditional old school style made this so fun to enjoy. The Sauvignon Blanc was in my opinion was an absolute start. It mesmerized our party with itās brightness, lively fruit and sharp acidity. It was our favorite white wine of the entire trip.
Again Dustin and Renee thanks for hosting us it was a blast. For all the folks not on the list.. Donāt walk.. But run to sign up you donāt want to miss this.
Dustin.. Super cool cork tree as well

Hey Keith, Sorry i am just seeing this. Feel free to reach out to me directly anytime via email or text. When we have been showing the SBlanc we usually pull the cork about an hour before tasting. Most important for this wine is temperature. Its not an ice bucket wine - really benefits from being around cellar temp to really shine.
Hope you enjoy it!
