Walla Walla Valley Red Rhone Blend more

Still solid with dark core of black tar, fruit is muted but pleasant, finish in long, and really nice. This wine needed to be drank now/soon as it's on the back side of peak but still really good. My last bottle.

Opened for my January bottle in the NW Wine Report 2024 Rhone Blend Challenge. Let's do this!

Slow-ox for a couple hours, then consumed over 2 days w/a half bottle vacu-sealed and left on the counter overnight at <65*.

This wine is just outstanding...very fresh, and full bodied, with flavors of blackberry, fig, tobacco leaf, a bit of woodsmoke, and espresso-heavy mocha. Delicious on day 1 and I'd say even more so on day 2. Nothing out of place on either day; day 2 was just a bit more integrated. No rush to open these...I'd drink now with some air - 2033+.

Very high alcohol. Robust. Big, overripe strawberries, black cherry. Still tastes young - lots of primary notes with the new oak influence. Low shoulder bottle, so use the Burgundy glass. Absolutely lovely!

Thought I was pulling the 2016. Whoops! Great wine, flavors consistent with my prior note. Was outstanding on day 2, so this has many years of enjoyment ahead.

This QED came through as a strangely solid pairing to the paella recipe from American Test Kitchen. After downing some grower champagne from Fat Cork with 3 dozen oysters from Taylor Shellfish I was searching for a red. There it was … and yum! On the nose I feared a fickle mistress but the first sip rang true - perfect balance of Syrah and Mourvèdre- inky mystery married with shrimp, clams, mussels, chicken and chorizo. I know I’m writing more about food but the wine intermingled with each flavor in a 1+1=3 equation.

Opened up over two hours. Dark fruit, luscious mouth feel, rich tannins and long groovy finish. Still young and likely to improve a bit more next couple years. Excellent QPR.

Black fruit with smoke, coffee, and tobacco. Probably would have been great with red meat but I had it alone—also great.

Consistently a very delicious GSM+ blend. Good fruits, balanced, tasty, and have had a few older bottles that were singing, so can be aged.

90 min decant; paired with grilled pork chops. Brightly fruited and showing strawberry and raspberry along with sweet pipe tobacco, vanilla and a hint of tar. A zip of acidity cuts the fatty pork nicely, and the tannins are well-integrated. Drinking well on day 2 also, but no rush to pop this one. Drink now - 2032.

Remove from the cellar 4 hour prior to a single venturi decant. Had with tomato tart, Mediterranean green beans and halibut. This wine is now an easy match for most foods. Elegant dark fruit and raspberry notes. Plenty of dark fruits remaining on the palate with well integrated oak and tannins. This wine easily has a year or 2 in it yet. Enjoy!

Concur with the bad doctor. Excellent value, tends to darker fruits and flavors, and good length.

Dark ruby red. Raspberry bush, earth, and spice nose. Medium bodied, juicy cherries, some dusty tannins, a bit of heat, and a long finish. Simple but tasty.

P&P; glad I picked up another 3 pack, as this is excellent juice! Flavors of blackberry and plum, tobacco, scorched earth, finishing with espresso and dark chocolate. Really enjoyable with smoked sausages and grilled NY beef.

Slight aging. Full body. Tannins still pronounced. Nose has big black fruit, red fruit, and oak aromas. Very enjoyable on the palate. But the finish is slightly longer than short and not quite at medium. Drink now, not suitable for further aging.

P&P. Still on the upswing with regards to development, and should continue to improve with additional age. The first taste is quite sweet but settles down once it's had some air. Flavors showing blackberry and plum fruit, tobacco and earth, with vanillin barrel notes and a finish of espresso and dark chocolate. Really excellent wine that I wish I had more of. Drink now - 2030+.

2 hour slow-ox in the bottle; poured through an aerator when consumed. Outstanding wine, and just entering it's drinking window. Many years of enjoyment ahead of this one. Flavors of dark berry and cherry fruit, some earthy-woody notes and hints of sweet vanilla, closing with a crescendo of espresso and dark chocolate. If drinking now, definitely recommend a couple hours in the decanter, and enjoy through 2031+.
