I really dig this one. Sweet but balanced. Darker and bolder than expected but not disappointed — 7 years ago

Really nice, smooth IPA. Intense flavors, but you aren't hit over the head with them. As lush as the Highlands themselves. — 9 years ago

01/19/19- Had at blind wine blind party. Got #2 out of 7 red. Tasted good. Good finish. — 6 years ago
On the nose; bright red & dark fruits, dark currants, coffee roast, boysenberries, blackberries, dark dry cherries, heavy black plum & black raspberries, limestone, dry herbs, dark rich soil, the core of anise, tobacco leaf, graphite, dry stems, mixed berry cola, black tea, violets, lavender and dark mixed fresh floral bouquet.
The body is full. The tannins are big & sticky. The structure and tension are big as well. The length and balance is nice for a wine this young. Very dark currants, coffee roast, boysenberries, blackberries, dark dry cherries, heavy black plum & black raspberries, limestone, dry herbs, dark rich soil, the core of anise, tobacco leaf, loads of graphite, leather, wood shavings, underbrush, dry clay, dry crushed rocks, mixed berry cola, black tea, very light baking spices, soft dark spice, fresh violets, lavender and dark mixed fresh floral bouquet. The acidity is round & beautiful. The big, long finish is elegant with palate sticky tannins and goes on for minutes. This one will be even better with another 12-15 years in bottle.
Photos of, the barn where they make wine and host tastings, the staircase that leads to Williams old office and showcases that late 1800’s architecture...now a private tasting room, dining room for small events & tasting and a very old piece of equipment converted into a planter box that decorates their grounds.

This might literally be my favorite red. Had to remind myself it was wine and that I needed to sip and savor it. Notes of berries, dark chocolate...no oaky taste....just the right amount of sweet- and tartness. — 8 years ago
I think using Rye helped calm the 85 IBUs. This was a well balanced beer. — 10 years ago
Wow, what a treat. Every sip was different from the next and it just got better and better. — 10 years ago
Great sour favors, nice hop backend and very good tart flavor of the wood. Sour flavors of sour plums a slight cheese rind flavor a very low bitter back tone. A great dry beer to end my day. — 10 years ago
A devilishly good drop — 11 years ago
60/40 Merlot-cab. Dense, dark and heavy, but velvet like the curtain on the Devil's theatre. Licorice, tobacco, black and blue berries, with a tart Kool-aid grapey-ness, that sounds cheap, but this is rib-stickingly tannic fruit sand slide stuff, and really just a symptom of drinking this wine young. I am unapologetic, I like precocious young wines. I drank the Kool-aid, and am now a believer. — 12 years ago
Great Syrah, Cab, Carmenere blend — 6 years ago
Divides opinion but I thought this was super interesting. A touch of oak, vanilla and cherry on the nose, almost cola-esque. Bright fruits. Cherry & strawberry transforms into an almost Syrah-like depth with fine tannins. Exceptional. — 7 years ago
Tasty. Bowmore. !!!! — 8 years ago
A really good Heathcote Shiraz. Needs a year or two to develop. — 8 years ago
Its not setting the world alight but hard to ignore the quality. — 9 years ago
Wow. Just wow. Great Paso Syrah.....
This merits a few bottles bought when I visit next. — 9 years ago
Good spicy Pinot. — 10 years ago
Another @SkimmerhornWine from Creston, BC the Devil's Chair. Great pairing of Pinot Noir and Marechal Foch. Should have bought a case of this one :) #yegwine — 11 years ago
The Hidden Cave Devils Lair Shiraz rocks! A drink now wine, I bought for dinner to have with slow cooked lamb. Quintessential red fruit, plum, raspberry followed by a hint of dark chocolate and peppercorns. Everyone devoured it and was only surpassed by the meal. I give it a 8 1/2 our of 10 — 12 years ago
Best in Show at Vancouver Magazine's International Wine Competition. I tasted this wine at their gala Big Night event, paired with Dungeness crab in dashi custard and yuzu. Heavenly! — 12 years ago

Mourvèdre is the Snake River AVA winner but Zin is a close second. Koenig gets it. Turley-ish. Cellar worthy. — 5 years ago
