Garnet color with orange edges suggest an older wine. Mélange of cedar, black fruits and black tea with a lighter body than expected. Angular, firm tannic finish. — 9 years ago

Pretty amazing, great fruit, tropical but not over the to. Plenty creamy but doesn't leave you with a mouth of butter/oily texture. The acid is clean. Need some more time to integrate. Love this producer. — 9 years ago

Would have called this a Rotie in a blind taste. Good brine, olive, meat, black fruit. Amazing WA Syrah. — 11 years ago

Kinda stunning. 12 years old, sturdy, big and bold. Good fruit. — 9 years ago

I think the Judge is an extraordinary Chard. Great balance with a minerality that is more classic White Burgundy than Calif Chard. Along with Kistler McCrea and Peter Michael, among my favorite Cali Chards — 9 years ago

A complex one, at this age. Might have needed decanting, because it improved in the glass, but there's a lot more fruit than structure, so... — 10 years ago

Great find in a clearance bin in a random wine shop in Hilton Head SC. Big jammy for a pure Syrah. Huge fan of the stuff coming from Red Mountain, Washington state. — 12 years ago

I confess I had my doubts — I mean, 9-year old Washington Counoise, right? — but this is some damn fine grape juice... lush and solid, just like my prom date. — 9 years ago
