La Grande Côte Petite Côte Red Blend 2014

I don’t think I’ve ever rated a three dollar wine this hi! Great blend from Rabbit Ridge that’s a short term but at TJs. Immediately got a few more bottles for it will soon be gone. Did I say this was 3 bucks? — 8 years ago

Herman Story

On The Road Grenache

Another winner from Russell From at Herman Story. Great notes of dark chocolate, blackberry, and kirsch on the nose. Beautifully integrated palate with sweet, evolved tannins enveloped in fruit and glycerine, followed by a nice (albeit slightly hot) finish. Terrific. — 8 years ago

Russian River Valley Syrah 2012

Light bodied with a nose of vanilla, plums, and red fruits. This ain't your average Syrah by any means. A spicy palate with some rustic undertones. A touch sweeter than I expected but in a good way. Nice, long finish. Not a lot of fat on this one but it still makes an impression. — 10 years ago

Dry Stack Vineyard Syrah 2004

Yyyaaaaa that's pretty good. Russell never disappoints. Big nose wafting from the glass with a rich blackberry compote, smoke, tar, overripe plum, and sugar covered raspberries. The entry is smooth and lush, but not overly fruit forward and imbalanced as I almost expected. Baked blackberry pie with a little char on it. This thing is lovely. — 10 years ago

Harbison Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

V M
9.4

This fruit from harbison vineyard (a hidden tiny property nestled among stars in Oakville) boasts classic Oakville notes of cherry and sugar plum with a silky velvety texture that makes this wine so approachable. Notes of mocha, toasted cedar and graceful yet long finish make this a beautiful wine in an impossible vintage. Ps Russell bevan is also the wine maker for harbison"s own estate micro production wine. 50 cases of this wine made. — 12 years ago

De Crescenzo / Tench Vineyard Red Blend 2010

V M
9.0

This blend of cab franc and merlot has less forward fruit than most of Russell and Victoria's wines and more expression of terroir. Beautiful aromas fresh flowers and graphite and more subtle purple fruit on the palate and a long finish. This is age worthy. What a great producer and great people Russell and Victoria are! — 13 years ago

Russell Creek Winery

Winemakers Select Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Interest Cab with very strong floral notes. Both on the nose and the pallet! A little bit unbalanced with medium body but strong finish. We had fond memories of the old grouchy winemaker. One of the first we met in Walla Walla. He was called the ‘grave digger’. Tough guy, tough life but a heart of gold. — 8 years ago

Russell Family Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Still quite young, but good flavors and potential. Currently lacks complexity and is more primary in its palate presentation, but still quite tasty. A bit rough around the edges. Needs time. — 10 years ago
