Eighth of our seven year vertical tonight....Scratch that the 2014 and the 2003 (this one) came out too.

Mix of deep garnet and ruby red with lighter edges. Lovely aged nose with floral notes, cedar, cocoa, licorice, cassis and blackberries. Medium plus tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus to full body. Complex notes on the palate with dark spices, light forest floor, black fruits and a touch of blue too. Long finish. Drink till 2022. — 6 years ago

Super dark and concentrated in the glass. Notes of cassis, gravel and cedar dominate the nose. On the palate strong flavors of blackberry and currants fill your mouth with a rich, silky texture...a touch savory in the background. Soft(ish) tannins and low to medium acidity. Long finish. This is a really nice wine. — 7 years ago

Washington is great for Merlot. Seven Hills is known for being a beacon of sorts. They are generally the first to harvest. This is from their top Merlot blocks from the 37 year old vines in their estate vineyard. Seven Hills wines age like crazy and their Merlot based stuff calls more to the Right Bank in Bordeaux than the new world. Living in Washington, I think I view Seven Hills like listening to the Beatles or The Stones. Too much looking for the new thing & not listening enough to what one knows is great. This is great. — 7 years ago

One of those wines that explodes with the right food. By itself I was thinking 88/89, paired with Korean BBQ easy 90+, tart cherries, big acid, cru Beaujolais like, delicious. — 8 years ago

Still the best Oregon white I've ever had. Rocking acid, nice nose, great finish. White Burgundy Doppelgänger, but at a fraction of the cost. — 9 years ago

Orange-red clear color; nose has red and black cherries, strawberries, underbrush, herbs, wet used socks (in a good way:-), flower petals, and hints of oak flavours; on the palate are red fruits, medium acids, soft tannins, candy-sweets, and a faint but lasting finish. No hints of herbacious green notes observed in my last Oregon PNs. Had with Dutch cheeses and Italian charcutery and Shostakovich 2:nd piano trio played on a master recording from 1983 by the Borodin Trio. — 6 years ago

First time cracking into our stash brought home from the honeymoon! This brought back many fond memories. Quite nice stuff, as you’d expect from a producer like Evening Land. Pours a bright medium (-) straw/gold hue. Medium (+) concentration of aromatics of ripe yellow pears and apples, almond paste, lemon curd, heavy cream, clean riverbed stone minerality, soft pretzel and aged cheese rind leesiness, and a tiny bit of nutmeg and vanilla from well-applied new French oak. On the palate, the wine is focused with more flavors of lemon curd, ripe green pear, a quartz-like minerality, just-ripe starfruit, aged cheese rind and pretzel leesy character, and a tiny bit of nutmeg from that new oak. Medium (+) acid, medium (+) in-balance alcohol, dry, with a medium (-) body with a slightly oily feel. Great stuff. Meursault-like. Looking forward to further enjoying our honeymoon stash! — 6 years ago

Lighter red wine with a ripe cherry-juice nose. Slightly sour cherry and blackberry flavors. The clarity of fruit and balanced flavors should age well for at least 5 years — 8 years ago

Seven hills vineyard planted 1981. A very balanced style of Syrah with black olive white pepper and dark plum and blackberry fruit atouch of smoke. A very savory style of Syrah a good amount of fruit and a savory finish leaves the tongue salivating for another glass. Finish 45+ excellent + — 10 years ago

One of the better "never had before" Californian Chardonnays I've had in years.
Very pretty when it was colder and less open. As it opens lots of new world fruit and oak. Solid acidity. ironically more old world when it was colder and more closed. — 7 years ago
