9.1

2022 vintage. Last tasted 4.13.25 (9.3). PNP. Sultry and mysterious nose + selfsame flavors. Has promise and great value. Unable to save a sample to taste after an hour or so but seemingly had the groundwork in place to approximate the 9.3 score from seven months ago. 11.29.25. — 3 days ago

9.0

2009 vintage. Completely unfamiliar with this producer (which I love new producers). Opened but not decanted. Age appropriate color. Variety of tea scents in the nose muddled with a modicum of drought dirt/earth. Light body. Tasted 20 minutes and 1.5 hours after opening. Total transference of the nose into the flavor profile-no surprises. Wine seemed to gain more strength/concentration of finish and dirtied up a tad but not more body or complexities. Doubtful another hour open/more air would have unlocked an achievement or improved the standing in the community. Will say it was a pleasure tasting a Vosne-Romanée vineyard with some age on it that was on the lighter side of the ledger vs the usual super intense. 11.28.25. — 4 days ago

9.2

2019 vintage. Decanted and tasted after one hour. Medium body. Focused and noteworthy mineral/earth finish but otherwise, forgettable…especially for the ca$hi$h. Too much oak influence on the upper 40. Not buying. 11.22.25. — 10 days ago

9.0

2022 vintage. Throwing absolutely everything at the wall and seeing what sticks. PNP. Medium-heavy body. Oodles of fruit and spices. Some acidity/tannins but needed slightly more. Would like to retest in 5-7 years to see what survived/made the cut and what didn't. Definite crowd-pleaser now but a little too confident and forward now if you know what I mean. 11.29.25. — 3 days ago

8.8

2022 vintage. Last tasted 5.5.25 (8.8). Still a Trader Joe's selection and still $8.99 a bottle. Nose holds more promise than the flavors but picked up a case to have laying around for porch pounding, day drinking, impromptu interactions and casual consumption. Regrets less than zero. 11.24.25. — 9 days ago

9.0

2024 vintage. Fairly fruity for the area. Pleasant drinker as an intro into the SRH AVA. Spend another $10-$20 to really go places. 11.21.25. — 11 days ago

9.1

2019 vintage. Decanted but should have done so on Monday (it’s Friday!!!!). Tannins for days with only a slight amount of rich fruit on the finish. 11.21.25. — 11 days ago

8.9

2005 vintage. In a weird place. Opened two hours prior and not showing any acidity/tannins and only primary fruit (predominant dark plum flesh-not skin). Acidity/tannins started to circle back around 1.5 hours later after initially tasting. 50/50 a day two wine or a disappointment. Anyone’s guess at this point. 11.28.25. — 4 days ago

9.3

2022 vintage. Last tasted 3.19.25 (9.3). Medium-heavy body with chocolate covered raspberry, blackberry, strawberry and big cracked black pepper. Decant/open 2 hours in advance of consumption if you can. 11.22.25. — 10 days ago

9.5

2018 vintage. Last tasted 12.15.23 (9.5), 11.11.23 (9.4), 4.26.23 (9.5) and 3.16.22 (9.3). Decanted with a trace of sed. Now medium body after losing a bit of weight. Sultry nose. Still iron, earth, blood, cinnamon, dark plum and dark cherry waving the flavor banner high. Excellent length of finish. 11.21.25. — 11 days ago
