2019 vintage. Replaces the same vintage La Vilella Alta (Garnacha, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon) offering from this producer btg and is comprised of Garnacha and Carignan. Grip. Velveteen fruit. Initial sweetness ended with pleasant tartness. Will pair nicely with nearly any land-based animal protein and grilled veggies. 09.24.25. — 9 months ago
Cotes de Catalan red with Guinea Fowl at Spring. Excellent fruit, not the graininess I can find in Grenache/Carignan reds at times. — 3 years ago

Finally getting around to posting wines from my annual Napa trip from two weeks ago. Always goes by quick! Lots of fun new stops this year.
It was my first time trying Moone-Tsai wines aside from their widely distributed Napa Valley Cab, so some of these were totally brand new to me. Melka is the winemaker.
Much more rich and dark fruited compared to the Howell Mountain. This is a blend of vineyards from Pritchard Hill, Caldwell (Coombsville) and St Helena. Very Pritchard Hill like on the nose with herbal crunch, savory graphite and cassis, oozing blackberries and cherry liqueur. Once on the palate, it channels its Coombsville fruit displaying a touch of licorice, candied blue and black fruits, baking spices and espresso. Big, but slightly more approachable than the Howell. — 6 years ago

Dense purple, highly extracted pigment. Funky vegetal black currant mint and raspberry-red fruit notes in nose on initial pour. Cherry and cocoa flavor with tar and light cola-ish finish. Light skin tannin astringency in aftertaste. Tobacco, ash and a hint of black pepper emerge in finish after an hour. Nice varietal complexity, light but rightly balanced on the acid and alcohol fronts. — 6 years ago

Mouth watering tannins, ripe rich fresh dark berries and hints of stone fruit. It’s fresh and grippy. A solid value — 5 days ago
