2014 Columbia Winery Petit VerdotYakima Valley more |
3/3/2023 - tolginator Likes this wine: 90 pointsMatured and enjoyable tannins, dry, medium acidity. It paired very well with meat lasagna. Despite, or perhaps because of, the high tannins and a bit of age, it was a very pleasant sipping wine , too. |

12/31/2022 - tolginator Likes this wine: 89 pointsPaired with roasted lamb and vegetables very well. This wine needs food even though I sipped it right after opening the bottle. Balanced tannins (for me), dark berry on the finish, medium acidic. |

2017 The Four Graces Pinot Noir Willamette Valleymore |
10/17/2021 - tolginator Likes this wine: 87 pointsPaired well with lightly spiced Salmon, was somewhat lost nonetheless. This is not an assertive wine, but finish is quite pleasing. I’d say it is balanced but subdued. Light bitterness is showing up without being bothersome; on the contrary, I like it. |

8/20/2021 - tolginator Likes this wine: 89 pointsWarning: drink this wine within a year. While acidity is still there, aromas dissipated since I last had it (last year?) nose is still great, even my wife liked it. I wonder if acidity is a little over the top. |

2012 Reininger Syrah HelixColumbia Valley more |
4/18/2021 - tolginator Likes this wine: 86 pointsNo decanting. Nose is rather harsh, subdued nuts, hint of floral sweetness. Palate is medium high acidic, medium tannins for Syrah. I would have said balanced tannins if it were less acidic, less volatile. While I don’t detect TCA, there is a hint of cork. |
