WOTN for us, only our second time ever trying the Katrina Eileen Cuvee, but first for the 2010. Deep and dark ruby red that completely coats the glass. We believe this was opened for max a couple hours and boy does it need the time. Coated in cassis, blackberries and dark spices. Powerful and full body with heavy tannins (9/10). Plush and voluptuous. Tons of oaky and dark fruits notes. Baking spices woven throughout. Super long finish and would always welcome the opportunity to try again! Thank you David! Drink till 2035. — 9 years ago

Magicak rich aroma of pear and nectarine and French oak beautifully woven together. Hard to get the nose out of the glass. Still has wonderful tension acidity and medium palate weight. Sits in the mouth beautifully. Chardonnay as I like it. — 10 years ago

B-E-A-UTIFUL and brick red! Had that Burgundian funk on the nose, tea leaves, ripe red fruit and cranberry, and on the pallet a whole woven structure of emmese flavors, ripe cherries and raspberries, and a soft, lasting finish. What a fantastic experience. — 10 years ago

Very nice effort from Hedges. Clearly Washington fruit with a bit of chocolate woven in. Just the right touch of herbs on the nose. Avoids being too ripe, very nice with food. — 11 years ago

Smell like a fleurie. But also cedars with some pan drippings. Raspberry, watermelon, fig, black cherry. Oozes freshness, perfectly woven interplay of acid/body/tannin. Light to medium body but loads of freshness and a beautiful touch in the cellar. — 9 years ago

Very ripe as it should be but with a nod toward bdx. Hint of brett, lots of earth and minerality woven with the ripe black fruit and cedar. 12 months in french oak adds roundness, i like. For 24$, this shit rocks. Leoville-Poyferres South American effort. — 9 years ago

Gentle wafts of Bordeaux heaven on the nose, cherry, oak, graphite, pencil lead woven beautifully with that thing called terroir. It starts light, bright and flowery and then as it slips into your palette there is a richness, arrive you chalky tannins and leave that lasting kiss on an elegant glide. A farewell that lingers with just a touch of resentment. — 10 years ago

9.5

After the first splash you're enthusiastically greeted by a generous nose; freshly picked blueberries, wild flowers and a hint of black olives. A dense ruby to simmering blackberry color core, expanding to a slightly paler rim. This wine is seamless, finely knit tannins, effortlessly woven into the fabric of this southern Rhone stunner; w/ Grenache leading the way @ 40%, followed by Mouvedre and Syrah. Blueberries, blackberries, olives and a meatiness are caressed by underbrush tones; this wine is complex! — 11 years ago

lil' juicy fruit, more pronounced at room temperature versus cellar temp. Bramble, black fruits and cassis liquor. Tannins are present yet balanced coupled with the fruit and acidity. Gobs of black fruits and supple cream woven throughout. Ending with dry extracted tannins. — 9 years ago

Colleague's farewell party wine 1.

Sonorous, charming, refreshing Roussanne originated from Anapa, Black Sea foothills.

Dense lemony yellow, greenish tint.
Delicate bouquet is woven of lemon, flowers (linden, osmanthus), tarragon, delicate mineral and spicy hint, pear, white peach, nectarine. 
Elegant palate of light-plus body, refreshing acidity. Scented by pineapple, pomelo, white currant, chalk, nectarine.
Very fresh lingering finish of citrus, ginger and ripe white currant.
Gone as apetitif. — 9 years ago

2012 - Love this wine. Complexity with finesse, bright red berry fruits woven with tangerine peel, cinnamon, clove, refined tannins that are not quite resolved, and mouth quenching acidity. Hold for 2 more years. — 9 years ago

Complex but elegant hints of dark berries, cherry and plum woven with dusty earth on the nose. Bright and luscious fruit on the palate laced with old world earthiness that makes this wine incredibly elegant. Great structure and balanced acidity should allow this wine to age nicely. One of the best I've had from Sta. Rita Hills. — 10 years ago
