WNH Southern gathering hosted by @Mike R and old Heitz vertical (70,74,85) sourced by @Martin G Rivard (from Benchmark) who also contributed some on his own dime. This ‘70 started with a wet cardboard musty nose and a slightly hollow mid palate and astringent finish. As the evening evolved and the steak showed up the wine did a complete 180. More tannins than fruit but it was a structured beauty that may not be at it’s peak but is still a gorgeous wine. Ripe plum, stewed fig, bayleaf. I didn’t get any eucalyptus from this but there’s a strong earthy, old world with a CA spin vibe. After dinner and before the fire pit some of us finished the decanter of this and were impressed at how it was still ascending hours after being opened. — 8 years ago

1976 was almost fluorescent orange on release so many years ago now. Today it still has that telltale orange gleam but it's developed so beautifully. Orange peal, fig, honey, earth, mango, hazelnut, and on and on. 375ml still very fresh. Impressive. — 10 years ago

The Clark & Telephone Vineyard PN gave me a long lasting impression, and this Las Alturas is very similar in style in its richness and intensity.

Ripe plum, blackberry jam, eucalyptus, fig, black tea, and Chinese medicinal herbs bursting on the nose. Palate has more texture and a more elegant feel with dark chocolate and spice. Firm and a bit dusty tannins. This tastes more like a blend of Zinfandel and Cab. Nice! But again this is not the type of PN I like. — 7 years ago

Drinking like a French Pinot, the bouquet is evocative of cherries, strawberries, tea, forest floor, and crushed crushed flower, while the pallet shines with black cherry, tea, hints of cinnamon and allspice, and earth. A consummate exemplar of Willamette Valley. Get 1 of the 200 cases while you can. — 9 years ago

Classic Gran Reserva. Nose is leather and oak. Complex in the mouth with leather, oak, clove, cinnamon, tobacco, fig and a hint of blue cheese. It finishes with more oak, medium acid and chewy tannins. A lovely dark, blood red color to boot. At a meal, this is the main course. Me gusta. — 9 years ago

This is Silver Oak 2011, cab! The cork was perfect and the absorption was pristine. The color is deep purple. The bouquet is ripe fig tree, roses, and chocolate. The initial palate is blackberry and raspberries. The finish is light, slightly dry, and slightly acidic. I like it with a steak followed with a strong cigar. I will buy it as a restaurant wine. no more no less

Co-WOTN. So much going on here and so pure and substantial for a 40 year old wine. Rich fig, smoke, forest floor, sandalwood, mushroom and an array of dark fruits. Not much bricking. Still looks like a 10 year old wine in the glass. — 10 years ago
