Not much age between the Napa wines in the 15-wine lineup tonight. An 06 Bucella, a 74 BV Georges Latour, a 95 Seavey, a 2011 Wm. Harrison, and this one. This one won the "youthful ager" award of the night. Decanted in a swan-neck decanter, this wine had immense fruit forward notes and spice. Edges had rounded nicely. This wine was dark, full bodied, dense, and tasted like a 2010 or 2012. Excellent wine. The finish was still a bit tannic although an hour in the decanter really did help to elongate the finish. With the way this one was drinking tonight, this one has probably 10-20 years ahead of it. Drink or hold! — 9 years ago
The blue label is an extraordinary achievement. At 55% Abv this one is perplexing. — 10 years ago

Single barrel from Aberlour by William Cadenhead aged 14 years. Cask strength gives some bite so I added some water. Definitely more complex and a unique experience behind the Aberlour expressions. Very nice. — 11 years ago

Richard WM part rugby, part sushi expert, 1/2 bro to Les Jung, is all great winemaker. This 2010 beauty is 85 Syrah 15 Viognier, fruit shines acidity is ripe but not overpowering, match it with a juicy lamb dish, with Moroccan spices, Tabouleh salad, happy place! — 13 years ago

Unexpectedly age worthy for a 17 year old Oregon sparkling. Delicate bubbles and hazelnut, a n unexpected way to celebrate @Claudia Becque victory in Eugene!!! It was a "10" in experience! — 11 years ago

Only 514 cases made for this vintage and its standing up incredibly well, rope fruit, more peach stone, with coconut, acidity is bracing but balanced WM; Howard is the MAN! — 13 years ago

Very easy drinking but not short on flavour of dark, slightly sour berries. — 9 years ago
