Wet stone, creosote, black cherry and a hint of oak permeate this 10 year old Malbec dominant blend. On the pallet, huge tannins still greet you first, followed by intense red fruit (cherry and red plum), aged meat, white pepper and tobacco. This is outrageously good wine. It could still age another 5 years at least (hardly any signs of oxidation so far). — 5 years ago

2012 vintage. Wow...now this is a serious wine. Deep in dark fruit and terrior flavors and a fair share of tannins. This was pure heaven with a barbequed rib eye steak. Another of those wines that I keep on the shelf because they are bound to be wonderful when opened but I want to keep them as long as possible for slight aging. But I never buy enough soon enough before the sell out. Mark Ryan makes seriously wonderful wines and this is surely one of them. — 8 years ago

In the old days, a yellowish hue in an Italian white signified a wine that was well past its sell-by date, and you could expect oxidation. Of course, some wines were always made with skin contact, but what you got would be definitely rustic. Not anymore. Ryan Glaab's "His" Vermentino combines a little extra heft from skin contact with a remarkable freshness, even after a few years in bottle. Great food wine, excellent with salmon or creamy pastas. — 8 years ago

Delicious! Had it as part of a wine flight at Salish Lodge in WA. Celebrating our 2yr anniversary of the day we met. — 5 years ago
One of my favorite Syrah’s, especially considering how reasonably it’s priced. Beautiful dark magenta color and texture, medium staining with some small sediment. Nose sees tight, dried blue and black berries, funky cured meat, maybe some wet rocks. Palette sees more jammy blue and red berries, medium tannins, medium acid, medium+ alcohol. Nice WA Syrah (with 5% Grenache) made in an old world style. — 6 years ago

Any lovers of Australian reds would fall in love here, bright present but heaps of depth should have held on for another 7 years — 4 years ago
