Jul 20th, 2014This is the '86 Martha's Vineyard and it was spectacular. Amazing how these older Martha's have aged. I've tried several throughout the 80s and they've all been fresh and incredibly complex.

Mar 24th, 2013Happy New Year! Had to go out with a fun year end wine.
Decant and pour(decent chunky/fine sediment). A majestic dark garnet with bricking. On the nose: Eucalyptus, perfumed red fruit, floral, soil, herbaceous. Taste: silky, creamy, fresh wine with some still there red cherry, tobacco, earthy, shaved graphite, and a peppery cedar long finish. YUM! What a treat to drink as a our final wine this last night of the year.
Cheers!

Dungeness crab bisque
Roasted Liberty duck breast
72 hour braised short ribs

Only seven bottles of Martha’s Vineyard left. Not the best vintage but still excellent.
