Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Syrah 2014

The aromas remind me of a very young modern barolo. Up front in your face tar with secondary aromas of black fruits. BlackBerry, and earthy flavors on the palate. Pnp. Tannins are smooth and drinking well right out of the gates. — 7 years ago

Casasmith

Porcospino Northridge Vineyard Primitivo

Subtly sweet (think prunes) and spicy. Needs some air time (still young), but it sure tastes good once it opens a little. What I like most is a cherry and tobacco sense that keeps lingering long after you swallow. This is yum! — 9 years ago

Road Less Traveled Cabernet Franc 2014

I love this wine, year after year. Densely extracted, deep purple-red. White pepper, black currant, mint, mushroom (well, Chinese black fungus is better, but not so familiar to most, so close enough) and other herbal notes in nose. White pepper, berry, maybe blackberry flavors, soft mouthfeel, tart seed bitterness, berry in finish. Some skin astringency and white pepper in aftertaste. Love the complexity; flavors are expressive and varietally on point. I’m not sure if further flavor integration with aging is possible, nor if further aging can improve on the current acid-alcohol-tannin balance. But that may just reflect the fact I drink up my wines too quickly to age them sufficiently. After their Jongleur-Petit Verdot, this is my favorite red of theirs. Also note how different the tasting notes are for this vs. a year ago. Is it just me, or are the wine dynamics really changing that much? — 7 years ago

The North Slope Vineyard Chardonnay 2012

Cahill earns her place on the rich end Of the spectrum and the 2012 vintage shows that character especially well. Ripe orchard fruits. Apricots. Cultured butter. Brioche. Abv is warm but the style supports it. — 10 years ago

Hidden Ridge

55% Slope Impassable Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

This is everything I expected and more. Worth every dollar.
Dark and lush black current, intense dark chocolate, fine tannins and smooth finish. Paired fantastic with grilled t bones and a Gorgonzola and pear salad.

Damn, this 2014 vintage is now my favorite WA state Zin, period! Yes, it's hot (16.9%), but Zin is usually hot. This is packed with big, jammy black fruit that eases into sweet leather and peppery notes. This is freaking great!! — 9 years ago
