This is showing very impressively, all the more so considering the very unimpressive 2001 I had recently after loving both vintages on release. It is in the heavyweight class no doubt and has only budged a little bit since release, with the structure more assertive and some of the baby fat gone and showing its bones. Visually it still has the deep, dark inky color of a wine barely past release so I was actually surprised not to find it more obviously fruit-gobbed on the palate. It's a packed and stacked wine to be sure, but the stuffing isn't about fruit so much as tarry Graves asphalt and gravel. The fruit it does show is red-complexioned, which is surprising since these are all blueberry and blackberry on release. Time in the decanter fills in a lot of the empty spaces and makes it positively voluptuous - still with a thick coat of tannin but soft and refined in texture. Not quite cashmere but not rough either. This is vastly richer, denser, and fresher than the 2001 was. It is at a point where it's probably fair to put to rest any doubts about ageability - it's stuffed but in proportion and fresh without being primary. But this and the 2001 were also the last SHLs I enjoyed on release - by 2005 the style seemed to have gone over the top. If the 2005 tastes like this in 5 years I'll have to eat some crow. That said, there's no doubt this is sort of a slutty style of Graves, not a wine for those looking for elegance or subtlety, although if it can keep developing at this rate the old "tour de force" cliche may actually fit just fine. — 9 years ago

Stunning 2002! Cabernet, aged cab is by far my favourite aged wine. Organic wine at its finest, showing it can definitely keep up with the pack. — 10 years ago

I appreciated this wine. Not all would choose to make a Riesling Brut in Oregon. I think they pulled it off. Strong hints of petrol, but not overpowering. All the acid. A hand sell, but a good one. — 11 years ago

Impressive upstart! Found myself entranced by the nose, and the only nit I had was a lack of analogous complexity on the palate. But the texture was beautiful and, if anything, it reminded me of Meursault. — 8 years ago

A syrah-driven blend from Santa Barbara's Sanguis winery, this wine was very good - bordering on excellent - but lacked a bit of the depth that I was expecting based on some other offerings I've had from this winery in the past (could be past peak or in a dumb phase, although it didn't improve substantially after a couple of hours in air). Still, this was a very enjoyable wine. — 9 years ago

It had those crow dark reds, starless, but it swirled Like a comet. Legs as big as a Bible and it felt like Revelations when I looked inside. Drink now to 2022 — 10 years ago
