8.8

90% Cabernet Sauvignon blend from the Columbia Valley (WA state), obvious creamy new oak aromas and flavors up front, this is almost sweet, and easy to drink/sip, but the new oak is WAY too dominant for my taste, decent, nothing more!?!? — 6 days ago

9.2

Ripe mountain fruit with a kiss of oak that is still quite tight and structured, very well-balanced, long, lingering finish, best yet of the 3 bottles we’ve opened, I should have let this slumber another 35 years at least!! — 7 days ago

8.8

Solid red-fruited Shiraz, the 3% Viognier always provides a nice lift to this blend, this 2020 vintage seems to be drier, a little less fruit-forward, good balance, medium-long finish, I’ve preferred earlier vintages. — 4 days ago
