Anniversary time and lucky me - opened this at a restaurant with my wife of 29 years - how fun is that given the world right now

This is getting better from the first time two years ago / I almost went to 9.8 but I don’t do those scores often - crazy insane goodness in a bottle - bravo Russell - what can I say - opened decanted and 45 minutes this wine was spot on - refined and totally integrated tannins - structure is brilliant- like eating delicious dark chocolate almost with raspberries and blackberries fruit positioned perfectly inside the texture of this wine - could last 10 years and might get better but WHY wait

Inaugural vintage of a truly great wine. This wine is pre- Russell Bevan - Luc Morlet is the wine maker. The wine is so soft at this point with a finish that persists in such a harmonious fashion. Absolute treat. The fruit is dark and delicious. The alcohol is >15% but the wine is so well balanced, the alcohol does not seem out of place. Great wine. — 6 years ago

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. — 7 years ago

One of my go-to SB's for the summer. Love the big tropical fruits. Russell is a stud in pretty much everything he touches. Down to my last couple of bottles of the '13 but it is still killing it — 8 years ago

Wow...this is definitely the year to drink your '07 Drystack Syrah! It is at the peak of its plateau - racy, velvety, gamey, and demanding. Its fruit, acid, and tannin balance was perfect - lovely grilled meat, decaying lavender and vanillin spices, with loads of baked fruit and juicy black plum. The richness and tannic qualities had finally dialed down a notch to become a serious elegant wine. Kinda wish I had another bottle of this because it was my last one, and I'm happy and sad at the same time that it is gone. Thanks Russell Bevan for another great wine.

P.S. thanks for the inspiration to finally open my last one, ha. Now you just need to buy me some more because I fell in love again! @Ron R — 8 years ago

One word: sexy. An absolutely explosive nose of dried violet and assorted flower petals, Asian five spice, sweet licorice, succulent strawberries, rhubarb, smoke/flint. Even though Russell is my favorite winemaker I still, up until this point, had not tried any of his Pinots, nor had any pre-conceived notions as to how his Pinots should drink. As such, I kept my expectations comfortably in check. But wow...this is full-throttle, deep, suave, and downright sensual. Freakin’ love it. — 5 years ago

Private tasting at Nos Caves Vin with Russell & Victoria et al. Tonight’s lineup was comprised of the recently bottled 2017 reds.

Drinking tight, as most were tonight, but excited at the potential for this bad boy. Lovely aromatics and rich dark red fruits, spices, leather, and tobacco. — 6 years ago

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? — 7 years ago

Another gem from Russell From. First time we've had this SV effort and it, like everything from Herman Story, was an in-your-face fruit bomb. Delicious and the first bottle to empty. — 8 years ago

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. — 7 years ago

Wildfoote is from Stags Leap. Russell describes it best “ The Wildfoote is always perfectly behaved and impeccably balanced with deep, dark fruit flavors and luxurious textures” — 7 years ago
