This is the never-released Kobayashi Boushey Vineyard MOURVÈDRE sans soufre from 2017. 50/50 whole cluster. Medium bodied fruity first half then this goes all St Joseph savory in second half. A fascinating mix of flavors. Unfortunately it only lasted about an hour before trailing off. — 2 years ago

This may be Jeff’s best extraordinary barrel yet! This particular vintage is from Boushey’s Birdhouse Block. Dare I say I almost smell a bit of plum on the nose with a mix of dark cherry and a hint of chocolate? Either way, a fantastic barrel. — 4 years ago

Do you see a commin thread in my feed? I do, non-aromatic, fleshy/dense white wines that pair amazingly with food.
I've had other bottles of this wine which I've enjoyed more, but this still very good. — 4 years ago
