2005 Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
1/15/2009 - jmetvoice wrote: NRI found this to be flabby and one-dimensional. The finish is short, and the tannin very light for a Cabernet--both implicitly tied to the overall lack of structure. |

2005 Barrister Winery SyrahColumbia Valley more |
4/14/2009 - jmetvoice wrote: NRI think this could have used just a bit more bottle age, but really liked it. More than just a berry-dominated Syrah, this had notes of tobacco and cedar that actually were more pronounced than the fruit. |

2004 Binder Mitchell Shiraz GunslingersBarossa Valley more |
12/30/2008 - jmetvoice wrote: NRLeading with densely packed fruit on the palate, this wine has a hint of spice and enough acidity to give some structure to the fruit. Classic in its representation of Australian Shiraz, this is a round wine that doesn't go over-the-top with the fruit (see: Marietta Cellars Angeli Cuvee). Complexity improves after some time to open. |

2009 Cayuse Syrah Bionic FrogWalla Walla Valley more |
9/22/2013 - jmetvoice wrote: NRVelvety and supple after double decanting for 8 hours. Notes of smoke and a finish of rubber denoting its extreme youth. A great wine that will only age gracefully over the next 10+ years. |
