7/15/2023 - Adonisd1956 Likes this wine: 93 pointsDrank with Trey, winemaker of Basel Cellars at the time. 21 year old wine has held up remarkably well. still some fruit, and really interesting tertiary notes. fun to drink with Trey and enjoy my last bottle of Basel Wines that Trey made. |

7/16/2023 - Adonisd1956 Likes this wine: 91 pointsFirst bottle of this, I did not care for. I think it was in a dumb phase. drank the next bottle over 3 night. It was very good. No real tasting notes, I would buy and drink again for sure... |

9/17/2022 - Adonisd1956 Likes this wine: 92 pointsExcellent wine that is aging well. Some dried red fruits, leather, silky tannins. I think this may have just a few more years on it. Seems to be in a good drinking window now... |

7/14/2021 - Adonisd1956 wrote: 85 pointsi was intrigued and looking forward to trying this wine. i certainly didnt know what expect. A carignan blanc. surely a new one or me. I will say the wine was not bad, but i was looking for a bit more from this wine, I guess I wanted to compare it to Grenache Blanc. I would love to try another version of this grape as this was my first Carignan blanc. If you find one, try it and let me know what you think. |

2006 Sleight of Hand Syrah LevitationColumbia Valley more |
3/11/2021 - Adonisd1956 Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis wine is singing right now. Excellent fruit, with prominent savory notes and ample smooth tannins. What a great example of Washington Syrah and its ability to hold up with age. This wine I estimate will hold up for at least another 5 years. |

11/2/2020 - Adonisd1956 Likes this wine: 93 pointsExcellent Syrah, co-fermented with 2% viognier. great nose, silky smooth tannins with medium+ finish. If you have any of this, I would drink it now. It was drinking well, but I think its past it's prime. |

9/13/2018 - Adonisd1956 Likes this wine: 93 pointsDark fruits on the nose and palate. Earthy, full and heavy in the mouth. Tannins are smooth and soft. Really great finish. Animal blood? (Hate those descriptors, but appropriate) good wine! |

9/30/2017 - Adonisd1956 wrote: 93 pointsBright red berries, some wood on the nose. The fruit carries over onto the palates, smooth tannins, the wood is prominent but not distracting from the fruit and tannins. It is very well integrated I would say this will drink well for another 3-7 years. |

3/31/2017 - Adonisd1956 Likes this wine: 92 pointsA hint of berry fruit on the nose, along with a dustiness, and leather. The dustiness carries over onto the palate, with vibrant berry, really good acid, and a really cool finish of dusty tannins that is smooth and lingering. I have one bottle left, feels like it still has a fair amount of life left. 5-7 years? |
