Fascinating wine. This is the Pearl of the Ravens. Aged in clay amphora, this cab has beautiful aromatics, a complex palate, sweet tannins, yet is incredibly soft for such a young wine. I’ve had other cabs from Perliss from this vintage, so these unique attributes must be coming from the amphora ageing. Super cool, but only 100 cases made. — 2 years ago

Great summertime red from Ryan and Nicole Pease at Paix sur Terre in Paso. 100% counoise but tastes like a cru-level Beaujolais. Fantastic. — 2 years ago
