The 2015 Matthews ‘Columbia Valley’ Sauvignon Blanc is a really good effort from this highly challenging vintage for white wine that saw both heat spikes and a record early August harvest. Gooseberry and shades of green bell pepper with Japanese pear aromatics take shape in the glass. Showing good verve and a soft texture, the wine unveils nice nutty and damp earth tones that combine with the Gravenstein apple, kumquat and nutmeg infused sourdough bread flavors. Now at the five year mark the 2015 ‘Columbia Valley’ Sauvignon Blanc needs to be consumed over the next several years. Kudos to the talented Aryn Morell. Drink 2020-2023- 90 — 5 years ago

Actually #1 of batch #34. How fun to drink #1 of the batch! Nutty yeasty aroma. Crisp and refreshing bubbles for New Years brunch in front of the fire. Add some pomegranate seeds and be festive. — 4 years ago

Potluck dinner at Butch. A surprisingly balanced complex low alcohol (13ABV) for NAPA Cab. Bright dark fruit notes on nose that carried over to lively lifted palate and good finish. 17 years! — 4 months ago

This Morell-Lawrence Malbec from a concrete egg is a stunner for the value. One day two there is still an amazing pepper kick and almost a slight earthiness to it. Really nice wine. — 4 years ago

Still structured and complex, little to no sign of aging whatsoever. Lot of life to it and wish I had more! — 5 years ago
