Old Matello

Hey friends,

Haven’t posted in some time but found these beauties from Marcus and wanted to share. My cellar is almost gone after graduating two daughters from U of Washington, but this was a glorious find. Figured Tallman and Trimpi may get semi hard from this. Love my old buds!

Glad to see you here again, Ron. Definitely an enviable pair of mags!

I had an 08 Souris in 750 and it was very nice after a few hours of air.

Marcus has never played up 08s, or his 08s in fairness to him, so I’m holding until he cries Uncle

I’d happily open these for anyone willing to trek up to 98270!

Hi Ron,

If I remember correctly you sometimes travel to CO? If we make it to OR one of these days I’d be happy to take a side trip:-)! Also, I think I can put my hands on some older GF large formats. Perhaps we all meet in OR and throw down with Marcus and Megan. Calling @Rodrigo_B and @Marcus_Goodfellow

Best,

Bill

That’d be fun! I do have mags of 03 and 05 Souris I’m saving

Also, I do organise a yearly mag every May in NY if any of you happen to be in town

Sitting on a Mag of the’12 Souris and an '08 Hommage. It’s great to see the love for these older gems. Not rushing in to these any time soon.

These appear to be the oldest I’m sitting on.

Ron,

It’s great to see you post on these, and I’m glad you have them in your cellar still. IIRC, 07 Souris was one of your first Matello wines? I think that’s the wine you were getting when we first met.

Both of those are drinking well at this point, though the 07 will want some time to breathe. The 08 has put on some weight, and generally shows well pretty quickly.

If you guys do a mag party, hold off until after Nov. 1st please! I’m slammed until then, we are up to our ears in grapes. 50 tons in, and the first still red Pinot Noir fruit comes on Sunday…

Thanks Bill!

Great to see you posting Ron.

No Magnums, but still have 07 and 08 Whistling Ridge. And like Adam, a decent assortment from the co-branding years 11,12,13.

Was sorry to have missed the recent Seattle event with Marcus hosted by PeterH.

Great to hear from you Jim. Long time no see!
