Superb Albarino, hitting all the right notes. Deep apricot, pear, a touch of citrus with minerals. Great acidity and balance. Perfect summer wine.

Ripe red cherries on the nose, followed by brown sugar, bacon and pine tar lingering smoothly on the palate.
Mmmm. Membership has its privileges :)

Yakima Valley Maiden Voyage Tasting Tour!; 11/14/2012-11/18/2012 (Yakima Valley AVA, Naches Heights, Snipes, Horse Heaven Hills, Red Mountain, Rattlesnake AVAs): Big and tannic, but plenty of bright acids. Pure cherry and spiced plum flavors with vanilla, toast and fennel. Needs time to come together.

Infanticide perhaps, but this cab was beaming with lovely rich red and black fruits, nutmeg, floral notes, wood mushrooms and a mass of structure. Finished long without any noticeable heat. Continued to unravel over the course of the night offering surprising complexity and interest.

I'll start out by saying how excited I was to drink this wine especially after calling Davenlore Winery and to my surprise, winemaker Gordon Taylor answered the phone on the first ring. I asked him if I was too late or too early to drink this cab 10 years after its release and he simply said "DRINK!". He also said all of his 2005 - 2007's would be perfect for drinking. He wasn't wrong...
This dark ruby coloured cab sav had excellent body and as soon as we decanted it the smell of blackberries and cherries filled our noses. We let it sit for a good hour at dinner and then jumped in with excitement. It was oaky, with a hint of spice and a little anis but the dark berries and cherry really stood out. The flavour lingered for a good while and it accompanied our short ribs and sweet breads incredibly well. Glad we waited and glad I called Mr. Taylor! Find one of these older vintages and enjoy!

Excellent, full bodied Cabernet. Smell the fruits from the glass when it's 2 feet away. Lots of dark fruits, cassis, plums, boysenberry. Some layers, tobacco, leather. Tannins are strong but balanced. Medium finish. One of the best Cab's from WA for your money.

I’m definitely pleased with this wine. I remember when we tasted it at the winery it was tight and I hoped it would soften. I has softened indeed. The nose is somewhat muted but I picked up rose and black cherry. It’s color is ruby with a little earthy brown (picture a dried plumb). The tannins have broken down to a smooth richness that coats the tongue with vanilla and fruit leather. If this is in your cellar, I’d say drink it within the next 12 months as I think the structure is at is peak.

Bold and awesome. Fruit followed by smooth cedar and cigar box notes. Even better on day two. This wine benefits from decanting, or opening a few hours before drinking.

Blue black in color. Nose opens with violets and soft fruit. Palate came together after an hour and was very nice. Blue fruit, drying tannins. Hold for a few more years or decant well now.
