Delightful #horseheavenhills #washington red blend from Nice Winery. Plummy, briary dark fruit is assertive on the nose with cocoa and leathery notes below the surface. Lovely balance on the palate with tart plum, blackberry up front, medium-plus tannins in the mid sip entwined with dark chocolate, cocoa following through with a slightly peppery finish and long tannins trailing off. — 2 years ago

Overly sweet red fruit on nose. Almost frosting. Palate is dry and doesn’t make sense with awkward fruity and medicinal notes. Short finish. #casasmith #barbera #washington #ctbucklinwine — 6 years ago

One of the better #cabernetsauvignon #wine I've had in a long time. Revisiting rhis great #washington producer. Focused, balanced black cherry flavors. Like Napa but without the weight behind it. Tannins added extra character to finish. Nose has developing layers of milk chocolate, morello cherry. — 7 years ago

Gamey on the nose and slightly overripe or very very ripe fruit. Not my vibe. It’s good. Don’t get me wrong, but overpriced. #washingtoncab #washington #washingtonwine #cabfranc #merlot — 4 years ago

Heading towards old world characteristics with more restraint and structure. Well made. Fruit undefined but just ripened at moment. Fine finish. #merlot #lecole #washington #ctbucklinwine — 6 years ago

Full nose of blackberry and black currant with minty notes and sage. Plums, honeycomb, raspberry reduction and fir. Blueberry and blackberry on the palate with black currant and black olive both taste and texturally as it unfolds into cedar, dense chocolate truffle, and Turkish coffee. #SevenHills #CielduCheval #Washington #washingtonstate #washingtonwines #bordeauxblends #cabblends #SevenHillsWinery — 5 years ago

Fruity black and red fruit with a touch of smoke on nose. Medium- complexity. Palate was full with good grip. Mid palate was hollow. Short finish. #dunhamcellars #ctbucklinwine #washington — 6 years ago

In nice shape with some tasty fruit. Maybe some hints of skin contact. A touch fat. #syncline #grenacheblanc #yakimavalley #washington #ctbucklinwine — 7 years ago
