Bionic Frog Walla Walla Valley Syrah 2019

Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.

Nose of blueberries, black plums, black currants, coffee, licorice, spices, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth and herbs.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cherries, blood notes, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, barnyard, light vegetables, light tar and black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Syrah from the Rocks District in Walla Walla Valley. In your face kind of wine. Rich, extracted and complex. Nicely balanced and elegant. Interesting stuff.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after a couple of hours of airtime.

This 6 year old Syrah is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.

A great sipping wine that also paired nicely with a big piece of steak.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$350.

#AgedWineTuesday

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose with red fruits, chocolate notes, spices and tobacco leaf.

Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, cherries, plums, light oak, chocolates, peppercorn, light earth and herbs.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Walla Walla Valley. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward with lots of red fruits and chocolate notes. Tangy, complex and interesting.

This 10 year old still feels younger and vibrant. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Feels like the Merlot and Petit Verdot are very dominant, and the alcohol is nicely integrated by now.

Drinking very nicely right out of the bottle, and good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Aged for 22 months in (70% New) French Oak barrels.

14.8% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$110.

Camaspelo Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2020

Too early to open. There is potential but now the wine is too strong and not integrated. Strong pepper 🫑 flavor combined with slightly sweet fruit. Nose is excellent with strong pepper. Wait until 2030. I used a Coravin and did not have a chance to give it hours of air. — 3 months ago

Estate Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

We are into the 10 year old wines this weekend. And as we are heading to Walla Walla, we thought to give this wine a try after it was been in my cellar for more than 10 years. And…. hmm, a bit disappointed. Had expected much more complexity, layers of flavored and endless finish. Nope. Nice wine though, smooth, balanced, great vibrancy but, yeah, still single note and I don’t think there is more to discover with aging. — 3 months ago
