Took a chance on this and it is really tasty... shout out to Washington state making some kick ass Bourbon. Mellow & complex for 90 proof - lots going on & oh so smooth. — 6 years ago

Nose has mashed blackberry, ripe black current, ripe black cherry, wet saddle leather, horse barn, dried mint, fried green herbs, chopped bacon, muddy garden soil, constantly developing...

Palate has mahogany shavings, black cherry 🍒, dried garden soil, day old bacon bacon 🥓, over-ripe black currant, warm dark chocolate, (minor) baking spice with a very long and intense finish. This wine has at least a decade in front of it tonight. Perfect, supple cork on extraction.

Still quite tannic, decanted 4h, needs much more time to reveal it's true self.

My retailer commented this was not a standard CA Cabernet, more Bordeaux-like, and he was fully on point. The stink on the nose really pointed us away from CA right away.

Paired to some expertly grilled, medium-rare Delmonico steaks from my favorite, local farmer in Columbia Co. NY (Kinderhook Farm), well salted (in advance). Finished with Maldon smoked sea salt, best which exists in the world, IMHO. Also roasted beets with goat feta from VT, where I can only image goats listen to Phish and eat Ben & Jerry's ice cream daily, because only a stress free life like that could yield cheese this good.

I'd like to know the blend on this, should anyone know, I can't believe it's 100% Cab based on the stinky nose, which we appreciate. — 6 years ago

SABRO Single Hop IPA. Summer time in a can, to the best of knowledge the only beer in Canada made with SABRO hops from the State of Washington🇺🇸. Tastes of coconut, pineapple and with stone fruit notes yet surprisingly simple, crisp and clean. Mrs A loves it. 6.7% alc/vol 60 IBI. If you ever make it to Fernie the first one is on me.

Could not resist to try one. Some critics state wait until 2021 till even 2026, others state drink now. So double decanted. Typical heavy merlot nose. Dark fruit, scented wood, gravel, pencil shavings on the palate. Drying tannins that coat the mouth. Upside potential to 94-95 when the tannins from the new oak have settled down. Will try the next bottles after 2023. Now 93+ — 6 years ago

Co Dinn has been crafting some classy Washington Chardonnay since his time many years back at Hogue Cellars. The new 2016 ‘Roskamp Vineyard’ Chardonnay is a delightful effort that was aged on the lees for seventeen months prior to bottling. Right out of the gate this shows off a downright sexy mouthfeel, with gobs of tension and bright orchard fruits. The exceedingly long finish lingers. This is up there with the best in the state. Enjoy this fantastic effort over the next seven to ten years, as this will pick up lovely tertiary tones as it ages. Drink 2019-2026- 93 — 7 years ago

Another back the truck up year for Bedrock’s QPR leader! The ‘21 has classic syrah fruit and spice, a nice hint of oak and a fine line of acidity to bring it together. Plus you get a bit of some of the best Syrah vineyards in the Golden State. Update — still drinking great in 6/26. — 4 years ago

Here's a nice everyday wine from Washington State. Showing black fruits with light oak, vanilla, licorice, spice, tobacco, chocolates, lights metals and peppercorn.

Full bodied with medium acidity.

Dry and fruity on the palate. Spicy and interesting.

I had the 2016 a few years ago, and it Is very consistent.

Showing mild complexity, tangy and easy drinking.

Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a burger.

A blend of Cabernet Franc and Malbec.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

89 points. — 5 years ago

A very nice smoothly balanced pilsner lager from the small but excellent Firebird Brewing company. Tastes fresh with good but not excessive carbonation that provides a refreshing and good tasting lager. Perfect for watching footie on. Saturday afternoon. — 8 years ago
