3/4/2023 - kcsteve Likes this wine: 91 pointsLast bottle was 11/2021. It was fabulous. The wine has settled since then and it is in a great drink window. Tannins have settled and the fruit has receded somewhat Bramble, earth, blackberry, blueberry and vanilla. Finish is like velvet. Decanted 1/2 hour and needed more as it improved as consumed. |

7/25/2020 - Francophile wrote: 84 pointsThis wine was rather watery and acidic. We hoped this would blow off after a while but did not. There was little evidence of fruit and overall very disappointing. Given its Cellar Tracker score was over 90 we were looking forward to a pretty decent wine. We ended up dumping half the bottle and drinking a different WA wine that was better. Sorry Soos Creek this did not do it for us.

5/9/2020 - Josch48 Likes this wine: 92 points56% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 20% Mourvèdre, 4% Cinsaut, with a barely translucent dark cherry color and the uplifting and graceful fragrance of a (this is not sexist) feminine Chateauneuf-du-Pape or perhaps a sweet and delicate smelling Spanish Garnacha without the additional earthiness or leather saddle smell.

5/10/2018 - SpoochMan Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis drank very nicely, super smooth. It is food friendly too. The fruit veers slightly toward sweet/pruny, but not so much to be offputting. The wife does not like pruny wines at all and did not complain about this one. Good value at $24 and ready to drink. Will probably hold for a few years, but I'm not sure about the 2030 drinking window end date here. That seems a bit much.

2011 Château Saint-Roch (Languedoc) Maury Sec KerbuccioGrenache Blend, Grenache more |
1/23/2015 - kcsteve Likes this wine: 92 pointsA steal of a wine. Deep, dense in color. Nose showed grape, herbs and spice. Palate was med-full body, light on palate, prunes, black fruit, spice and a touch of earth. Drying tannins and super acidity. Need substantial food, but so good just by itself. Holding other 2 til next year to see development.

1/16/2014 - Tim Heaton Likes this wine: NRI really liked this - for the first hour, then it closed down and nail polish aromas waded in. Seems like it's got the structure, balance and beauty to age, and the first glass was flat out delicious, but when it shut down, and withdrew, it was rather unforgiving, and not very pleasant. Would love to revisit anytime between 2022 and 2030.

2/26/2014 - kcsteve Likes this wine: 89 pointsBottle was leaking from under foil and dripping on other bottles. Opened and cork had no wine around edges...it was leaking through the cork itself, a first for me. Poured to examine and wine was garnet and clear. No sign or taste of oxidation. Still has very present but soft tannins and nice acidity. Get some black cherry, blackberry and spice. Nice long finish. Forced to drink early in the afternoon....some days are just good days. |

3/4/2014 - kcsteve Likes this wine: 92 pointsNose was closed until wine warmed slightly and was still not near as impactful as the palate. Peaches and cream, granny smith apple, a bit of pear and passive minerality. Fantastic acidity and tartness and just right sweetness that balanced with the alcohol. I Buy this wine every year and it never disappoints. Would like to lay down some bottles but it never happens. Too luscious.

2/23/2013 - kcsteve Likes this wine: 90 pointsDecanted 1 hr. Returned to open bottle for 3 hrs. Medium weight and color. Blackberry, cocoa, spice on palate. Tannin were a bit overbearing but settled as time passed. Good for the price.
