Big and ripe, blackberry and blueberry, finish is medium-long and a bit dry on the palate. Too bad Derek is no long longer involved with this winery as he will be missed

2014 Barrage Cellars Cabernet Franc Cease And Desist

Yakima Valley more

5/25/2020 - bothellwineguy Likes this wine: NR

I think this is reaching it's peak right about now, it's tasting more like a Cab-Merlot blend vs. a straight up Cab Franc. Has some chocolate notes with a long, pleasing finish with black cherry notes and mild tannins. If you have some, pop it open now

Decant for a bit and goes great with tacos. Not as deep as the 2013 Reserve, but shows in the true Tempranillo style. Also, a very floral nose

If you have some of this and haven't tried it in a while, it's really worth checking out now. Lots of big, ripe fruits and a pleasing, mild tannic finish

2009 Ste. Chapelle Riesling Special Harvest Winemaker's Series

Snake River Valley more

2/9/2020 - bothellwineguy wrote: NR

I decided to save a bottle and it's been almost 5 years since I've tasted this wine, but it has changed quite considerably. The color has gone from almost clear to golden. Taste has a a bit more mouthfeel, almost syrupy, yet the taste remains citrus dominant and the wine maintains a balanced flavor.

It is definitely worth checking out for anyone who still has a bottle of this laying around

9/7/2019 - bothellwineguy wrote: NR

Agree with Tosti-Lane, it's losing it's fruit and has gotten past it's prime. The first night the cork crumbled and the wine had an off-taste. Put it into the fridge with a vacu-vin and it was better the next day. I would definitely drink now if I had it and decant for a while before drinking

2009 Finn Hill Winery Petit Verdot Reserve Stillwater Creek Vineyard

Columbia Valley more

7/2/2019 - bothellwineguy wrote: NR

Picked this up this from the winery in 2012 and at the time it seemed young and had quite a bit of acidity, so decided to save it for later. Fast forward to 2019 and it has developed deep fruit and structure and was quite enjoyable with tannins well integrated and a smooth, yet prominent finish

2011 Woodinville Wine Cellars Merlot

4/5/2019 - bothellwineguy Likes this wine: NR

I've always maintained the WWC wines have held up well over time and this one is no exception. This is definitely worth checking out now, but I think it will easily last at least another two years in the bottle.

This wine is developing well, but it's hard to keep from drinking it now. Hopefully can keep my remaining bottles for later as I think it will get that much better. I'm thinking at least 2 or 3 years time frame before it starts to peak
