Nice. Tamed bramble. Not super intense or concentrated as I kinda remember but might have been a different vineyard that I am recalling. — 2 months ago

Milbrandt Vineyard Syrah 2017

Washington State Syrah from the Wahluke Slope AVA. Dark ruby color with a few black highlights. Aromas of cooked blue and black fruit, wet soil, purple flowers and smoked meat. Flavors of blackberry/blueberry jam, black olives, dark chocolate, dried herbs and roasted nuts. A bit of black pepper spice on the long and deeply concentrated mineral laden finish. Medium-plus body with slightly chewy fine grained tannins. Well balanced acidity and a slightly creamy texture. Quite good. Memorial Day 2026. — 5 months ago

Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

9.0

Strong red blend and gentle tannins for not a lot of age, and for WA state for that matter. Was busy discussing business while drinking this so copying web tasting notes: “blackberry, marionberry, cassis, dried herbs, olive tapenade, cedar, vanilla, and coffee.” — 6 months ago

Cayuse Vineyards

Bionic Frog Walla Walla Valley Syrah 2018

1.5 hour decant(little sediment). A gorgeous dark magenta color. On the nose: dark fruit, that Cayuse funk(luv it), smoked meat, burnt caramel, bell pepper, orange rind. Taste: bold, polished, savory wine with blackberry, grilled cherry, bacon fat, minerals, gamey, and a long lingering peppery finish. YUM! Delicious. — 5 days ago

@Dave A must try syrah....the savory complexity along with a little funk from "The Rocks" district.

God Only Knows Armada Vineyard Grenache 2022

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2022 pours a bright ruby color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with fresh, pretty notes of red fruits: raspberries, Bing cherry, red flowers, white pepper, rocky earth and some gentle cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and juicy. Drink now through 2042. — 4 months ago

Quilceda Creek

Galitzine Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

2016 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 45 minutes and 1.5 hours. A little sed. Light-medium/medium body. Definitely not flashy. More on the lean and mean side of the ledger but not completely without hints of love hitherto. Built for the long haul. 9.4.26. — 2 months ago

Hedges Family Estate

Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Dark ruby in color with a reddish/brick rim.

Showing its age on the nose and full in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, plums, black currants, coffee, oak, cloves, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, black tea and black pepper.

Nice length on the finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Mountain in Washington State. Elegant and earthy with chocolate notes.

This Single Vineyard Cabernet is complex with a soft mouthfeel, and feels much older than its age.

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in all new French oak barrels for 22 months. A small production of only 5 barrels.

14% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$80.
