il Lussurioso Classico Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2019
A little jammy on the initial pour but with 20-30 minutes this really stands out. Cocoa, blackberry and a hint of pencil shaving. Long finish with a fine balance. — 2 months ago
Betz Family Winery
Clos de Betz Columbia Valley Red Blend 2018
Deep ruby color right out of the bottle. Aromatics dominate in a great way. Balanced fruit and acidity. Great finesse. One of the best from Washington State. — 3 months ago
La Pelle Wines
Bien Nacido - Block I (1973) Chardonnay
Pale straw in the glass. Just a hint of butter. Meyer lemon and honeysuckle pop from the glass. Notes of passion fruit and hint of graphite on the finish. Beautiful balance of acidity throughout. One of my new favorite Chardonnay's. — 2 months ago
Dovecote
Thompson Vineyard Grenache Blanc 2023
I don't guess there's much Grenache Blanc grown in SYV. Young and crisp with a perfect balance of minerality, acidity, and aromatics. This is a step up backyard pool pleaser. — 23 days ago

Demi Lune Grand Vin De Bordeaux 2016
Collab of Michael Kennedy with a left bank Bordeaux single vineyard producer VINIV winery. 100% cab. This was the first year of this production. Not much on the nose but it drank well after a nice 2 hr decant. Blue and black berries with some cassis and a bit of spice on the finish. 10 years and could stand a little more. — a month ago
Timberline
Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Howell Mtn Cab from the Ladera family. Inky out of the bottle with notes of cherry, blackberry and bright acidity. Chocolate, dried herbs and cocoa on the mid palate. A nice spicy finish but not going to blow your friends away. Good price point for the money. — 3 months ago
Ken Venezio
55% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petit Verdot red blend wine from Betz. Loads of red cherry, plum and black raspberry. Almost musty to taste with some floral notes on the nose. I'd lean full-bodied. — 8 days ago
