Seven Hills Winery

Seven Hills Vineyard Merlot 2012

Washington is great for Merlot. Seven Hills is known for being a beacon of sorts. They are generally the first to harvest. This is from their top Merlot blocks from the 37 year old vines in their estate vineyard. Seven Hills wines age like crazy and their Merlot based stuff calls more to the Right Bank in Bordeaux than the new world. Living in Washington, I think I view Seven Hills like listening to the Beatles or The Stones. Too much looking for the new thing & not listening enough to what one knows is great. This is great. — 8 years ago

Caves Avinyó Brut Nature Reserva Cava Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada 2011

The family-run Avinyó estate remains a beacon of artisan tradition for Cava wines, and their Brut Nature remains one of my favorites from their seamless portfolio. Resinous and leesy, the Xarello driven cuvée is rather giving for the Brut Nature category. Never thin or austere, the wine instead broadens on the palate to flavors of yellow apple, sawdust, pie crust, and mushroom. This is a Cava that can convert a Champagne diehard. — 7 years ago

CV tasting Crozes Hermitage 10/6/16. Very savory and meaty nose with hints of mints and earthiness and beacon. Balanced and acidic and minerals on palate with firm structure. Long complex finish. Yum. Best nose of the 4. Opened Donna visit 11/3/16. Still savory and delicious after argon spritz for 3 days. — 9 years ago
