Always looking for new high-acid, Uniaked whites for summer... crisp, clean, med-weight...less than 200 cases.. perfect paring with grilled salmon and pickled blueberry sauce. Nice stoney/salty attack.. with a long, mineral finish. — 8 years ago

Leans more toward Old World style than New World Syrah. Dark berries, hay, hint of smoke. Stylistically probably not for everyone (amongst Syrah lovers). — 9 years ago

Finally opening up. This 2010 can still keep many years but already holds its ground against the best burgundies. And still leaves any new world pinot wanting. — 9 years ago

Not the mess I've heard people commenting about, a nice cab but again not the big crazy new wold wine. If anything the flavors are a little muted, nice balance between acid, fruit and tannin — 10 years ago

A return to a more New Zealand style SB, this vintage has restrained lemon lime flavors and a light grassy finish. As always, excellent value and a versatile food wine. — 10 years ago

These grapes handled the 26 months in new French oak well. A sweet tobacco note on the nose. Great tannin structure on the palate with a great mix of dark fruit, vanilla, and earthy characteristics that leave you searching for descriptors. — 8 years ago

Right on the money with this Riesling! Straw in color and star bright. Nose was filled with lemon-lime, honeydew, Granny Smith apples, wild honey, citrus blossom, ginger, and new plastic pool toy aromas. The palate was extremely well balanced and the acidity was high and puckering. The tart lemon and lime flavors held through the finish. The finish was surprisingly long, and it was a nice medium-minus body. This Riesling provides a solid compliment to spicy sushi and spicy foods. It holds up strong and has a lot of backbone. All in all, this is your Riesling if you are looking for a refreshing, acidic, dry breath of fresh air. Instant favorite of mine! Washington dry Rieslings are spectacular. Cheers! — 9 years ago

The 2012 Cab is an easy drinker. It's a perfect blend of fruit, oakie-ness and tannins. Very full bodied and full of flavor. Would have to say this is my new favorite. — 10 years ago

What. Fantastic wine and a prime example as to why WA state is surging with new recognition as the next great thing after OR foursome CA. Integrated with balance and complexity with a great nose and mouthfeel reminiscent of much older wines. I'm a buyer. — 10 years ago

Rich crimson with a dark core. Not typical Cabernet descriptors as regards Bordeaux and The high quality areas in Australia. On the palate Black fruits like black berry and currant. Good Cabernet structure still with superb supple tannins. The fruit and oak typically intergrated. Bottom line delicious in a new world way. I think this Wine might have been a 💯 pointer from Parker. After about 2 hours the perfume had magnified into gorgeous aromas with the palate maintaining those silky smooth tannins. Very impressive. — 8 years ago

A Bordeaux blend. Spends 22 months in 70% new 400 liter oak barrels. Nose of fragrant floral fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, black plum. Licorice, anise, dark chocolate and fresh, dark florals. The fruits are ripe and fresh and match the nose. Black licorice, tarry notes, loamy soils, moist dark soil, lead pencil, cedar, tobacco, underbrush, great acidity and a beautiful long finish. The structure is better as is the tension and length. This bottle needs 8-10 years in bottle for a higher score but for many hard not to dry young. Photos of the view from the Long Shadows patio, another one of the glass blown floor lamps and a concrete fermentation egg...interestingly in an inverted shape I hadn't seen before, no real difference in effect. — 8 years ago

New vintage. Quite nice, a bit more restrained and certainly a bit wound up. A little time in the bottle should fix that no problem. — 9 years ago

My new go-to $10 red. This was excellent for the price. Smooth and well balanced, with plenty of structure. Aromas were more complex than I expected, with a bit of smoke and burned toast layering over the dark fruits. Twenty second finish. Let it breath a little... it improved on the second day. — 9 years ago

This is the flagship wine and is Cabernet Sauvignon based made with 100% new French oak with a dense array dark currant and cassis berry fruit with notes of licorice and sweet tobacco spice very forward and seductive. A big and sweet seductive fruit with an array of dark berry fruit 89 CS 6 mr and 5 pv blend. Very big and chewy but has wonderful nuance exotic floral notes very exotic a bit reserved right now but should blossom over time has all the right pieces in proportion. Finish 50+ killer — 11 years ago
