Massican, Annia, Napa Valley

Another great Massican wine. I agree with some of the previous tasters. Great value and wonderful wines. Dan is such a wonderful wine maker. Everything he touches I absolutely love. My lone bottle of this vintage.

I really enjoy this wine, I think it's one of the best values from Napa/Sonoma by far. So nice, you get some tropical fruit but it's balanced with acidity and minerality. Love it.

2020 vintage

Big, rich and interesting. Honeyed, lanolin character complimented by lively acidity. Some sweet fruit up front and some zesty bitternes on finish. Very good.

2020 vintage

Notes of apple, green apple, and pear on the nose. Minerality in the body.

2020 vintage

The three things that stand out in this wine include medium plus intensity aromas, which are complex, including lemon, lime, musk, melon, beeswax, honey, banana, and honeysuckle. The second thing that stands out is the high acidity. And lastly, the finish lasts at least 30 seconds.

2020 vintage

Great QPR. Perfect house wine.

2020 vintage

Enjoyed from magnum last night with sushi for a birthday celebration. Still excellent but with a little bit more roundness (relative). Lovely!

2017 vintage

A reasonable house wine.

2020 vintage

A delicious blend of Italian varietals grown in Napa Valley. The resulting wine was subtly aromatic at first, lemony, peachy, and minerally, but with air the wine opened up and also made me think of tropical fruits, like guava and passionfruit. The palate is rich but with good acid. This paired well with cheeses and artichoke

2020 vintage

Peach and melon scents on the nose, fresh but almost delicate. Grapefruit peel, golden apple and almond. Little waxy, round and nicely textured. Tasty.

2020 vintage

Lovely with a great QPR.

2020 vintage

From a magnum: A great party wine -- light body, moderate acidity, with enough complexity to attract but not demand attention.

2017 vintage

Lightweight and refreshing. Great summer quaffer, beeswax, honeydew, white flowers and grapefruit. Aromatics are a bit muted, but this goes down easy, 12.5% abv.

2020 vintage

Still going strong.

2020 vintage

Sweet, sweet nectar. Supple mouthfeel, warm apples and a citrusy kiss.

2020 vintage

Think this is in a good phase right now and seems very different than some of the comments below. Really well balanced, crisp and fresh but not too acidic. Really enjoyed.

2020 vintage

Fresh pear and apple and lightly floral. Lovely yet light on the nose and palate. It was very refreshing and very pleasing. It went very well with with Chinese - providing a nice balance to the heat. Think of it as yang to the ying.

2020 vintage

Baked apples with a dollop of whipped cream. Good lemony zing. A bit lighter overall in terms of mouthfeel.

2020 vintage

I had previously tried the 2019 version of this, and it lived up to the reviews and recommendations - honey color and aroma, wax, dry Riesling style nose, apples, pears, complex. The 2020 was just pure acid. Not worth the price.

2020 vintage

Full bodied white from Napa using Italian varietals. Grassy and thick, reminds me of Roussanne. Enjoyed the wine, but expect full bodied whote. Not sure I agree with the press on this one, especially at this price. I think it got 96 from Enthusiast.

2020 vintage

This lacked the tension and perfectly woven harmony of the 2018, but is still a very lovely wine. Perhaps more honeyed, floral, and weighty, with some rather ripe fruit belying its Napa origins. Rather custardy on the mid-palate, the finish is nice and elegant, with just a lick of dried stone fruits.

2020 vintage

Excellent white Better than Italy? Not sure and frustrating that all good wine more expensive if made here

2020 vintage

Very pleasant nose of citrus and melons. The pleasant sensation did not translate to the placate. Finish was a bit bitter.

2020 vintage

Nothing memorable about this wine. Light and refreshing. Perfect for an afternoon by the pool.

2020 vintage

Medium lemon color with flecks of green. Nose of ripe citrus and white florals. Similar flavors on the palate along with a bit of apple. Medium acid and a slightly rounded mouthfeel. Enjoyable wine but my least favorite of the 2020 white offerings from Massican. Needs a bit more acidic zip to brighten things up.

2020 vintage

High citrus on opening. Mellowed to nice acidity and crispness.

2020 vintage

Enjoyed this wine. Straw grass and minerality. I wasn’t overwhelmed with the QPR as there are many other option well below this cost. Fun to see this style from Napa, not sure I will visit this wine again though.

2020 vintage

super rich, loads of body. Has taken on a creaminess as it ages, underlies by classic ribolla and friulano fruit notes.

2017 vintage

This bottle was far better. Not sure if it just needed time. 12.5%

2017 vintage

A blend of Ribolla gialla, Friulano and Chardonnay. Lemon curd, white flowers, wet rocks. Elegant structure, charming fruit and a touch of (very pleasand) bitterness at the end. Very lean for a Napa white (only 12.5% abv) and very drinkable. Very recommended.

2017 vintage

in a good spot drink up in my world

2017 vintage

This is a first for me. I opened the bottle and a fruit fly was in the bottle. It was corked with the wine. It probably would have been fine but I figured it was a sign to not have this wine. Hopefully their isn’t one in the second bottle.

2017 vintage

Never found that 92-94 pt harmony/wow-factor for us, a bit flat but was nicely balanced and pleasant enough, better still with food and played well with roasted nuts, cheese plate, and ceviche chile scallops. Just not that memorable, may need the right dish to really bring the complexity others have cited.

2017 vintage

dry as a bone and excellent qpr liked by all

2017 vintage

Fine, but not all that. Acidity lower than expected. 12.5%

2017 vintage

not quite as wowed as other CT notes. solid white but a bit simple. aromatics are nice but palate was a bit one note.

2017 vintage

Consistent with prior note.

2017 vintage

A pleasure once again... this time as a kick off bottle at Zest Bistro on date night. A very fine match with the grilled shrimp and vegetables platter.

2017 vintage

Darn good once again. We brought this into Giada Las Vegas to share with friends and it was great with the octopus appetizer dish... and then it was gone. A fantastic white wine alternative

2017 vintage

Last bottle. I'll miss this more than I would have expected after drinking my first.

2017 vintage

Consistent with previous bottles. Delicious mix of stone and citrus fruits with some floral undertones. Nice crisp lemony tang paired perfectly with baked ligurian style cod.

2017 vintage

On the palate: okay McIntosh Apples. Lacking concentration, medium - acidtiy. Felt a tad disintegrated. Perhaps an off year or off bottle. Much preferred the ‘16 sauvignon blanc.

2017 vintage

Enjoyed this bottle more than I recall from previous bottles. Great Summer wine with mixed seafood.

2017 vintage

good. Interesting blend. Nice mouthfeel on it

2017 vintage

Knickerbocker

2017 vintage

Consistent with previous bottle. Showed a bit round and fuller bodied, possibly from the serving temperature.

2017 vintage

A delightful white blend that drank quite well with stuffed, baked clams to kick off a dinner with friends.

2017 vintage

Pale straw color. Super aromatic nose of white flowers, honeysuckle, white peach, a touch of citrus. Very perfumed. Mostly floral and stone fruit flavors on the palate with a good amount of white stone and orchard fruit coming through. Medium acid and a slightly rounded mouthfeel. Nice finish. If this had just a touch more acid, I think it would really be special. Still a delicious wine though.

2017 vintage

Quite good. Very interesting white blend. Loved the aromatics. While I enjoyed the palate, it was not as interesting as the nose, and was in fact a tad lacking in the acidity department. Paired well with Panuchos with cochinita pibil at El Molino Central.

2017 vintage

Pleasant tropical notes on the nose. Medium bodied in the mouth, but lacking some acidity. Nice wine.

2017 vintage

Are you sure?
