5/27/2018 - Burgundy Al wrote: NR

Willamette Valley Weekend Visit; 5/26/2018-5/27/2018: Tasting at the winery. 13/14 blend. Black and meaty fruit with some olive tapenade. Long, brooding start, then brighter and uplifting finish. Very mountain fruit with the lifting acidity. 91-92+ point potential.

Willamette Valley Weekend Visit; 5/26/2018-5/27/2018: Tasting at the winery. Boysenberry and blackberry jam with sweet spice and liqueur and lots of tannins, albeit in the elegant side. Needs time. Upside as the sweetness lessens.

Willamette Valley Weekend Visit; 5/26/2018-5/27/2018: Tasting at the winery. Lots of cherry with even more baking spice. Intriguing and unfolding, this seems to tell you it’s forward and simply fun, but layers in the background hint at more complex enjoyment as this ages.

Willamette Valley Weekend Visit; 5/26/2018-5/27/2018: Tasting at the winery. Cross section of red and black cherry comes across more ripe and concentrated vs Ceras, less delicate or textured. Very good length, slightly firm finish for now.

Willamette Valley Weekend Visit; 5/26/2018-5/27/2018: Tasting at the winery. All red fruit start-to-finish with some earth and very good textures. Still wound slightly tight, better 2020-.

By-the-glass at the United Club. Lean style for Cali Cab-based wine, this has an intriguing Bordeaux-styled elegance with rich black plum and cherry, along with hints of cassis. Better than the 2013.

Willamette Valley Weekend Visit; 5/26/2018-5/27/2018: Tasting at the winery. Red fruit throughout. This starts out fun and forward, but sneaky structure emerges, making this engaging and interesting g by the finish. Very good potential. Better/ more complete than the 2015 tasted a week+ ago.

Willamette Valley Weekend Visit; 5/26/2018-5/27/2018: Tasting at the winery. Black cherry start-to-finish with great spice and an alluring nose, slightly less overt flavors. A well done use of whole cluster. Better to cellar a little more.

Willamette Valley Weekend Visit; 5/26/2018-5/27/2018: Tasting at the winery. Starts out slightly fat and rich with some cola notes, then finishes more reserved and beckoning with good acidity and textural elegance. Probably better in another year or three.

Willamette Valley Weekend Visit; 5/26/2018-5/27/2018: Tasting at the winery. 2016 disgorgement. Very impressive. Mostly Chardonnay, seems so Chardonnay in its precision and backbone. Very good breadth, length and mousse. Slightly earthy and bready, but not in a way that dominates the flavors. Very good now.

Willamette Valley Weekend Visit; 5/26/2018-5/27/2018: Tasting at the winery. Fleshy apple and pear with ginger, butter and honeycomb. Surprised to hear this is only 50% composed of wine that finished ML, given its richness. Best to drink young.

Willamette Valley Weekend Visit; 5/26/2018-5/27/2018: Tasting at the winery. Lots of black cherry throughout with charming nose showing a trace of sausage. Similar flavors, just less forward today, with meaty spice in the middle and a slightly backward finish. I suspect a few years in the cellar have been kind to this wine, and a few more years will help further.

Willamette Valley Weekend Visit; 5/26/2018-5/27/2018: Rich, ripe red and black cherry with some sweet spice and a hint of new oak that will benefit from more cellar time. Very good weight to start, with good length that falls off slightly at the finish. This will improve with age, better 2022-.
