Picked up last year while in Oregon. Had more bite than I expected given other 2018s from Ribbon Ridge that I’ve tried but loved the peppery and lively finish! — 10 months ago
Starts out with what seems like brett to the nose then opens up with nice “sweetness”. Missing a third dimension but performs well in two at 23 years. — 2 years ago
Very good. — 5 years ago
Plum and fresh apricot, dry with a bit of chalkiness. Wonderfully refreshing! Does need time to open up though. — 6 months ago

Picked up this bottle at the winery when we met Cody Wright (Ken Wrights son). Boutique winery. Amazing. Drank well after 8 years. Would not let much longer. I could not wait anyway. — 2 years ago

Still got it! Fantastic balance between lingering primary red fruits and full-on tertiary goodness: pomegranate, dried cherry, dried cranberry, mushroom, sage... if you got it, drink it! — 4 years ago

Great w/ dinner San Juan Island — 4 years ago
Recommended by sake guy at Hasr Wine shop. Clearly passionate about the subject and said best all around choice for Omesaki dinner at BYOB Morios. 50% polished rice and indeed had smoothness and complex long finish not experienced in my limited tasting of sake. Finished all 720 ml and glad Willie had no trouble driving. $55. On palate it's got a nutty yet creamy texture with layers. Can see what this is about. But inability to take sniff from small sake cup gives me pause on what he claimed to be superiority over wine. — 5 years ago
