90 Points The Wine Advocate -"Yellow plum, apricot, and kumquat inform a palpably dense palate that seems almost to be suffused with crushed stone. The pungency of smoke and citrus oil, piquancy of toasted nuts, and chew of fruit skin all lend invigoration - but no outright bitterness - to this sappy example of the characteristic 2007 vintage alliance of stuffing and ripe flavors with dynamic and refreshment. This should be worth following for at least 8-10 years, since neither the quality of its raw materials nor their treatment differs materially from that of Leitz-s dry single-vineyard wines." What can you say about a winemaker that fails to make even the slightest misstep? When every wine, and there are more than couple made by the ever boyish Joseph Leitz, is better than the next? Leitz' 2007 Magic Mountain is no exception. It's a QbA made in a dry, international style, and it has gobs of power and minerality, with white peaches and citrus and a real affinity for the foods we like to eat, particularly those of who live on the West Coast, with Dungeness crab season just around the corner!
