I've had some great wines from them, their semillion is often very interesting, but other times I think "Man I overpaid for this". But I *always* go visit there when we got to Walla Walla, great tasting location, great staff. This vintage really wowed me for the whites.

complexity? Yes...fruit? not much, but plenty of funky, meat juice, and smoke.

A bit like Cayuse too, tend to less fruit and more of the tertiary stuff, but I'm certainly not an expert on this. I had another bottle of this 4 years ago and it had so little fruit I actually thought it was flawed...now I don't think so.

Day 1: Very nice wine with smoked meats, stone, spices, dried twigs, coffee beans and dark fruits. Finish is a bit astringent but overall a nice effort. Subtle funk on this one. 91 points
Day 2: A bit less intense. Smoked meats, stone, mild spices and dark fruits. Short to medium finish. Good but not great. 90 points
Recommendation: The more Sleight of Hand wines I drink the less I find them worth the price. Too many other WA Syrah wines that deliver for the same price.

This was a bit too much abv(15.1) for me for a CDP. Well made wine and did, however, go well with ribs. I need to check and see if all of the Mon Auiels are this big as it really did not trip my trigger and I was looking forward to it.

Screw N Pour. Impressive sub-$15 Cab, with much more complexity and depth than I was expecting. Full bodied, with ample acids offering superb lift and delineation. Cassis, blackberries, silky raspberry, soft tannins. Thankfully not an over-ripe creamy mess; quite the opposite, actually. This would be the wine I'd bring to a party where I was most likely the only one really into wine - a solid transition wine for the folks moving up from cheap plonk. An extra point for QPR value. highly recommended for weeknight quaffing, burgers on the grill, drink thru 2014.
