1999 vintage on Dec 16,2017 (from a private collection). Appeared surprisingly young but mature on the palate. Refined and elegant with lingering notes of dark berries. This shows that some Oregon wines are age-worthy. — 7 years ago
Feather is 100% Cabernet. This is made in coordination with Randy Dunn. On the nose, dark, lightly spiced currants. Black oil, loamy soils, black licorice and fresh floral bouquet. On the palate, the mouthfeel is thick & rich. There's a good presence of wood shaving. Rich, ripe blackberries, dark cherries, candied black plum, plum, black raspberries, loamy soils, dark rich moist earth, leather, tobacco, spice-box, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, vanilla, black licorice, violets and fresh red florals. Acidity is round and mouthwatering. The structure is big. The tension perfect as is the balance of fruit and earth. This is definitely a Parker wine. It's so easy to drink young, yet will cellar 10-15 years nicely. Photos of the tasting rooms hand blown glass lighting...lit up.

Mouton Vertical dinner. Wow! One of my dream wines to try. This btl came from the cellars of Mahler-Besse collection and was in perfect condition. Ruby red color, sweet ripe red fruits on the nose with eucalyptus, cassis, chocolate mint and exotic spices, had this cola thing going on with soy and caramel. So big, rich, opulent, sexy and young but fully mature. What can I say just a perfect wine in every way! — 10 years ago
Too young to drink but still amazing to drink — 10 years ago

Mild aroma, young flavor. Fruitier ends, best to open before a bolder wine. Grape ending — 12 years ago
Seven Stones was the wine of this market visit to Napa. For me, it is the very definition of why I drink wine. Great fruit that is not overworked and is the Webster’s Dictionary of elegance, even at this young age.
On the nose; beautiful dark & medium red cassis. Ruby in style with amazing florals. Blackberries, dark cherries, raspberries & blue fruit mix. The red florals are so engaging, They possessed me for quite sometime before getting to tasting the wine. Soft baking spices with understated vanilla.
The body was medium full. Tannins unbelievably soft, silky and elegant for such a young wine. The fruits picked at the perfect ripeness. Such elegance! Creamy and ruby fruits of; cherries, dark cherries, creamy raspberries and wafting blue fruits. Soft spices, dry crushed rock powder, delicate volcanic minerals, touch herbaceous, whiff of black olive, dry soils, beautiful red roses and violets. The structure firm yet delicate as was the tension. The length and balance in perfect harmony. The long, polished finish simply amazing. Especially, in a wine this young.
Photos of; the property with the seven stones from Yosemite that are held together by gravity and weight 100,000 pounds, and two other artworks from the owners amazing art collection and the view from their terrace. — 7 years ago
Discovered in my wine collection this 18 year old Tempranillo crianza from Altos de Rioja. Worried about having gone bad. As soon as as uncorked it knew it was fine. Cork was fine and got a burst of bouquet. Amazing for an inexpensive young Rioja to be so good. Smooth and velvety as Tempranillo should be. Good with grilled red snapper. Life is good. — 8 years ago
A young merlot, body as you would expect for such a young wine. Pairs well with a good steak. — 9 years ago

Still young but what a heck of a Cab!! Oh my, so bright, rich, earthy, berry, drink now drink later! And for the price unbelievable! Loved every bit of it — 8 years ago
Yummy road pop gifted by Michelle at Young & Wyse. Amazing especially after breathing for a couple of hours. — 9 years ago
Surprisingly well aged for only 2 years. Raspberry and plum with a touch of spicy cassis. Slight mint makes it quite refreshing and rounds out the fruit. Not a big fan of mainstream pinotage (due to the often young, too bright fruit) but am very happily enjoying this. — 9 years ago
Still young, dense and primary. Dry cherry notes and quite a sweet palate promising more with cellaring. A little closed with latent power. Superb quality fruit - obviously a great future. Next in 2 - 3 years. — 9 years ago
Our favorite cheap Pinot! The 2014 is too young though. Look for a 2013 and enjoy! — 10 years ago
2002 vintage. Very rich and glycerol high content. Toffee, textured and almost botrytis like. Apricot and honeysuckle. Deep concentration. Too young to enjoy fully now. Open in 5+ years. Could be magnificent. — 10 years ago
3yrs old & she can pick 'em already! #FilthyGoodVino #Wine 66 Mildara looking sharp. Madiran Bretty & as tannic as it should be. Echezeau too young, a steel for the $50 I paid for it! An eclectic collection today! — 10 years ago
Tight young wine that should be cellared. Expected light colour. Will develop into a fantastic wine. Nice astringency. — 11 years ago
