To celebrate 5,500 reviews on Vivino, here is a beautiful wine from Washington State.

Dark ruby in color with a short brick rim.

Sweet nose of blackberries, black currants, sweet cherries, cedar, leather, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with sweet cherries, plums, blueberries, oak, light vanilla, spices, espresso, cola, light vegetables, leather, earth, tobacco, vinaigrette, peppercorn, pencil lead, light bell pepper and dark chocolates.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.

This is a great Syrah from Washington State. Showing great complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Elegant, yet rich. Just Beautiful.

This 12 year old is drinking very nicely now and will continue to age nicely in the next decade.

Needs 3 hours to open up properly and show some tannins.

Wine Enthusiasts 100 points. Robert Parker 97 points.

I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

Tasty and delicious.

14.4% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

For as much ritz and glamour that is typically associated with Napa Valley, this week highlighted who the real rock stars are in their community... the farmers and firefighters. Haley Wight is the sixth generation to farm her family’s estate, the historic Lewelling Ranch in St. Helena, originally established by her great-great-great grandfather John Lewelling in 1864. She also happens to make extraordinary Cabernet Sauvignon. So extraordinary, that I’m going to skip writing a note and just tell you that Robert Parker hits the nail on the head... “The wine displays gorgeous licorice, lead pencil shavings, black currants, loamy soil undertones and a touch of barrique. Dense purple, it has a full-bodied, multi-layered mouthfeel and a stunning finish with good acidity and velvety, well-integrated tannin, alcohol and wood. This is a scrumptious, full-throttle Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the next 15 or so years. 96 points.” — 8 years ago

Rich maroon with purple tinges. Notes of ripe plummy fruit with spicy creamy oak but not overdone on the latter. Medium to full bodied. A quality quaffer and good QPR at $24. — 8 years ago

1997 vintage was rated 87 by Parker and I drank this over 5 days closing with vacuvin between dinners. Best day? The last one really! The first day was better than expected for this vintage earthy, leather, touch of vegetal notes but last day was allspice, lavender like notes, dark cherries. No tannin, smooth, medium body. A pleasure. Best thing is there two more in cellar! Enjoy! — 9 years ago

This wine was at its peak at a warmer temperature than most. Really pretty tropical notes and hay. Under-ripe mango, kiwi, very direct nose and alcohol comes through (14.5) The palette is all about the malo and new oak, soft, buttery, nice acid, lingering finish. I can't help but believe that this wine lacks soul (or typicity?) but it's damn good. Maybe if this were the benchmark of Santa Barbara County wines? Regardless this is great with spicy Indian. Good job FP. — 10 years ago

Parker 98 point taste off today,
Cult takes it at P&P lets see after a couple hours decant,
The nose on this has caught our attention now, not as full bodied as the cult but still delicious. Can't go wrong either way.
Maybach has taken over as it opens, winner! I think Amoenus is the top 2104 I've had, has lingering layers as it opens up, — 8 years ago

Heavy blackberry nose and flavor subtle creme de cassis finish medium to light tannin. Heavy alcohol upfront. Semi- complex but could not justify the price for the quality. Very Bitter at first starts to get better after opening up a little. Robert Parker 96+ pts The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Bone Ash Vineyard Estate, which comes from their estate in Calistoga, shows great blackberry and cassis fruit, nice minerality, a floral component, subtle new oak and a full-bodied, expansive mouthfeel. This wine should drink well for 30 years and be approachable within 5-6 [years].” $97.99 a bottle. — 9 years ago

I Usually avoid anything Napa 2011, but this was in the 12 bottle lot I wanted so took a chance, Parker 96 so not too big a gamble.

I prefer my Pinot on the leaner and lighter side, but this is too delicious to snub. Deep, brambly, almost inky, with well integrated acid and alcohol (14.1), concentration and structure. These are things that 15 years ago I would not have said about a Fess Parker pinot noir. A serious, well made wine. — 10 years ago
