Fantastically balanced. Bright sour, not skunky geuze sour. Not phenolic. Rich grape flavors. Some oak, tobacco flavor. — 11 years ago

1996 Ducru Beaucailou: Very dark ruby red, I guess this still would benefit from another 5-10 years (especially when comparing to something like the 10 year older Cheval Blanc). Still, an impressive cascade of exuberant dark cassis and menthol on the nose and surprising richness on the palate, this really is a 30 year wine. The tannins were maybe 90% resolved, but one had the impression of the wine still holding a little bit back. — 11 years ago

Bordeaux grapes make this a Bordeaux style wine, but the terroir of the Columbia River Valley make this fuller than most Bordeauxs -- lovely wine, indeed! — 11 years ago

So rad. I'm partial to the sweeter fruit sours, as the sour-on-sour nature of this is a little relentless. The vanilla and orange aromas really pick up on the finish, and add an extra layer of complexity. Texture is creamy and full without being cloying and it's a necessary contrast to the barbaric intensity of the acid. Not for the faint of heart, but really rewarding. Continuing my thoughts that they have to be one of America's greatest sour ale producers. — 11 years ago

I have rarely been more pleased. Sensational. More, please, now. The label says it all, but Cascade is making some of the greatest fruit sours in America. — 11 years ago
