Very interesting Super Tuscan style wine made from Walla Walla grapes. Certainly more fruity, bold and juicier than the ones from Tuscany but it had a very nice layered complexity and well integrated oak flavors that added a distinct sweet vanilla flavor. — 2 days ago

Very bright, intense wine that despite the heavy oak notes was still in superb balance. Evolving layers of flavors on the finish and with time. All you want in a great wine. Don’t understand why there is always less wine in such bottles 🤓 — 11 days ago

Every time I drink this wine, I am blown away with its intense flavor and complexity. Never left the stainless steel tank. Straight into the bottle. You got to drink it to believe it. Wine… what a wonderful medium 😁 — a month ago

9.2

A Bordeaux blend from one of our favorite small wineries on Altlas Peak where they grow small, flavor intense berries on vines struggling in the shallow, rocky, iron rich volcanic soils. This blend is less intense but more nuanced than the 2017 blend we first tasted discovering this winery. — 5 days ago

Classic left bank Bordeaux. Well integrated rounded tannins leading the march surrounded with dark fruit and that unmistakable lead pencil. Was hoping for a little more layered complexity. — 17 days ago

Very nice wine. Everything was in sync. Tannins had tamed down and fully integrated with this vibrant wine. Fourteen years old but still super vibrant with fresh fruit. — a month ago

This wine was awesome! It sang like the person in the opera of the Olympics closing ceremony. On all cylinders. Layers of beautiful bright dark blue and red fruit flavors carried by very present but super silky tannins that gave it ‘stop-in-your-track’ intensity. All in beautiful harmony. — 9 days ago

9.2

A Petite Syrah based blend. I recognized that expressive, almost jammy edge followed by grippy, spicy dark fruit/plummy flavors laced with warm herbs. On the finish a sharp pipe tobacco note (I just recognized that from when I secretly took a puff from my dad’s pipe 🥴). Isn’t it amazing how wine can take you to places you have been before. — 20 days ago

Phenomenal wine even before you realize this is crafted from the oldest Syrah/Shiraz vineyard in the world. Intense in flavor, in spice and in vibrancy. A complex wine that is trying to tell you the 180 year history that is has experienced. Planted less than 20 years after Napoleon died. Want it hear the story behind this wine?
