4/4/2024 - cwiebe Likes this wine: 91 pointsQuite wonderful aged WA Chard. The various components are all still there, some oak, fruit, minerality, but all nicely wound together. |

1/31/2024 - cwiebe Likes this wine: 93 pointsFirst day open was pretty amazing. Big wine, but very balanced with blue fruit balancing nicely with pretty resolved tannins for this early. Second day, a little more extracted and took on a more plummy extracted flavor. Third day, backs off the extraction a bit and presented like a calmed down version of Day 1. |

1/16/2024 - cwiebe Likes this wine: 94 pointsEverytime I open one of these I plan to drink it over 2 days, and everytime I empty the bottle in one night. I don't know what else to say, it's a brilliant bottle of wine. |

2021 Cayuse Syrah Bionic FrogWalla Walla Valley more |
11/18/2023 - cwiebe Likes this wine: 95 pointsLots of funk as this is such an early open. No olive in the funk, just leaves and earth. Laser like black fruit that evolves to a mouth filling effect. Long, long finish. |

6/22/2023 - cwiebe Likes this wine: 92 pointsWish I had another 6. Well balanced, a little more Parker in style, but not a plummy attack. Very enjoyable with a variety of dishes over two days. |

4/9/2023 - cwiebe Likes this wine: 94 pointsAmazingly primal at 20 years out. This bottle could have gone another 10 years easily. Very pronounced black fruit and spice. Multi-layered with a long finish. |

3/6/2023 - cwiebe Likes this wine: 92 pointsStill has some years to go. Surprisingly primal early on but over a day mellowed out to a much rounder flavor profile. |

2014 Château d'ArmailhacPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/12/2023 - cwiebe Likes this wine: 92 pointsTook a full day to open up, it's really sleeping right now. Second day, shows a nice sense of balance but still fruit driven and not yet showing a lot of depth. |

2016 Columbia Crest Grenache Reserve Coyote Canyon VineyardHorse Heaven Hills more |
12/27/2022 - cwiebe Likes this wine: 91 pointsGood basic Grenache, on the sweater end of the spectrum. However, these is a dose or iron behind the sweet fruit, so not completely one dimensional. |

12/25/2022 - cwiebe Likes this wine: 92 pointsTale of two wines. Day 1, for about 4 hours, very primal, fruit forward, not that different from the result of opening in 2016. Day 1 late and into Day 2, much more like a Bordeaux of slightly older provenance, leaves, soil, spice, plum. Very interesting experience. |

2019 Château PlincePomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/4/2022 - cwiebe Likes this wine: 90 pointsInteresting journey over 3 days. Days 1, the wine was unprepossessing, sort of light with good fruit but otherwise a little less than expected. Day 2, the wine has fleshed out a bit with more stuffing than day 1, revealing a medium body, enjoyable Pomerol. Day 3 shows hints of what could come with a more developed mixture of red fruit, leaves and some green pepper. |

2019 Meadowcroft Cabernet Sauvignon Oakvillemore |
11/23/2022 - cwiebe Likes this wine: 92 pointsDay 1, a well constructed Cal Cab, a little reticent on day 1, but well balanced and enjoyable. Day 2, a little more forward than Day 1 and showed more plum flavors, exhibiting a fair amount of extraction, almost Paso like. |

10/16/2022 - cwiebe Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery well balanced with a good amount of extraction offset by good acidity. The fruit is still very fresh and there are no aspects of this wine overwhelming any other. |

9/23/2022 - cwiebe Likes this wine: 90 pointsVery extracted version this year. Stayed very primal, plums and blackberries, through 2 days. Probably needs to snooze for quite some time. |
