This is for @Timothy Lynch!
Went to Pastis, NYC and came away inspired by their excellent Tuna Crudo. Mine is a variation on that theme with Salmon coming along for the ride. Curly parsley, green onions, tarragon, coarse mustard and white wine vinegar provides the structure for the sushi-grade fish. The Ultramarine lifts the dish with its taut acidity and Meyer lemon notes. Thrilled with the combination. — 9 months ago

Hi Saturday night, why not? And why wait? I held this bottle about a year and honestly I probably could 10-ish more and would it be better—maybe? But it’s pretty damn spectacular now. So much cassis (both red and black currant jam plus currant juice), some vanilla, tobacco lite, and an almost menthol freshness oh go onnnn) Long Meadow is a favorite of mine and continues to be so. This has all the markings of classic Cali Cab but it is how they fit together that make it more than fab. I’d take normal fab but now is the time to level up. Why not? — 4 years ago
Hawley never disappoints, even with a wine that’s not a favorite of mine. One this good could change that. — 6 months ago
The reason I joined their Wine Club. I’m usually not a fan of Rose, but enjoy this one. — 5 years ago
