Delicate. Earthy nose (think mushrooms) with cranberry and other red fruit on the palate balanced against plenty of acidity. Has some funk to it. — 9 years ago

Highly perfumed. Reminiscint of a Spice Drawer. Medium to light bodied - more like a Pinot than a Shiraz regarding weight and texture. Savoury salty minerally plums on palate. Anyone who thinks Australia only makes blockbuster Shiraz should try this. Made by Rick Kinzbrunner, better known for his brilliant Chardonnays but this is different and moreish. Bravo. — 9 years ago

Ok, first thing- thank you Rick Banks for the gift of this bottle. Secondly, we have an affinity for this producer as Elizabeth and I shared a bottle of pinot from Hartford Court on the night we met. Now about the wine. Bold blue fruit aromatics with a hint of licorice. Mid palate shows some red fruits mainly raspberries. Soft tannins fading away to a sweet finish. Not many domestic pinots have life after 8 years, this one definitely does. Best to consume sooner than later, maybe over the next year or so. What a wonderful treat. Thanks my friend! — 8 years ago

Just a little nuttiness with nice weight and stunning acidity, it is aging brilliantly and has years of time left. — 9 years ago

So good. This Rosé is how I channel Rick Ross. Underripe strawberry and sour cherry flavors. Didn't get much on aroma. Dry and acidic for the summer party, sweeping the deck, club banger, or back alley with my black bottle boys. Rich forever. Forever compassionate. Don't call it medicinal, but you may be tempted. Boss. — 9 years ago

Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Named for the canyon Rick’s family farmed and where the Estate Vineyard is now located, established in 1981 by Rick Small and his wife, Darcey Fugman-Small. Woodward Canyon was the second winery in the Walla Walla Valley and the Smalls were instrumental in obtaining federal approval of the Walla Walla Valley appellation. Nice ripe stone fruit flavors, aged new French oak (20%) with pear and apple flavors, toasty oak, lively acidity, lingering ending with citrus and mineral notes. Very Nice! — 9 years ago

2006 Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Vosne Romanee Burgundy. Drank w Rick and K at Providence. Beautiful wine that had nice strawberry and cherry notes with some earthier smoke- like noses. Interesting. Great to sip and drink with lighter dishes and before the 1999 Soldera. Really enjoyed this wine all around! — 11 years ago
