I have tasted this producer infrequently, but what I have tasted from them have all been good to very good. This was an end of event taste. Palate was a bit fatigued at this point. Would have enjoyed tasting this with a fresher palate. 93+ Meatball was really good. Never had one that rode the top of fence of Italian & Mexican characteristics. Unique in that regard. At Pebble Beach Food & Wine 2025. The ticket to this event has a pretty big price tag. But when you consider what a Napa etc. tasting or two and lunch would cost you, you are pretty much there and there is so much more than that. It ends up having great value. It’s wine, spirits and food candy land.

Coffee, toffee, toasty. Pretty restrained and closed at the moment but it promises well. 96-97+
