1985 Graham Porto VintagePort Blend more |
8/13/2021 - noiregonian Likes this wine: 92 pointsDecanted first thing in the morning, and then again during dinner - and tasted fresh and juicy despite its age. Lots of deep red fruits, some spice and chocolate in a mid-weight mouth. Terrific structure and balance too. |

2005 Andrew Will Sheridan VineyardYakima Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
8/13/2021 - noiregonian Likes this wine: 95 pointsIncredibly sexy blend of Cab, Merlot and Cab Franc showcasing what we love best about WA Bordeaux blends – savory yet fruity nose, plush mouth, incredible balance, elegant tannins and a lush, lingering finish. Super inky in color with just a bit of cherry red bricking; lots of blackcurrant and black berry/cherry going on, with flint and balanced acid as well. Definitely my WOTN. |

1998 Nicolas Feuillatte Champagne Brut Cuvée Palmes d'OrChampagne Blend more |
8/13/2021 - noiregonian Likes this wine: 90 pointsSmall, fizzy bubbles with a toasty, nutty nose; rounded and bright citrus benefitted from pouring in a wine glass instead of a flute. Complex and mellow. |

2003 EIEIO Pinot Noir Wind Hill VineyardWillamette Valley more |
2/27/2021 - noiregonian Likes this wine: 92 pointsGlad we popped this before dinner, it took some time to come together in the glass. Deep and moody Pinot, with luscious dark fruits and spice. Good structure, perfect with the pork chop and chicken entrees we had. Finish had resonant length and balance. |

2016 Domaine Morey-Coffinet Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La RomanéeChardonnay more |
2/27/2021 - noiregonian Likes this wine: 92 pointsWhat a lovely white Burgundy - bright and lemony, with minerality and salinity that bloomed in the glass. Had it with maitake and carrot appetizers, but would have been amazing with oysters. |

2001 La Sirena Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
2/20/2021 - noiregonian Likes this wine: 95 pointsOpened and decanted from magnum; wine was just spectacular from start to finish. Sleek, supple, sexy, graphite, luscious color, blackberry & cherry aromas, fine structure, and amazing finish/length. A serious WOW in a glass, and incredibly memorable. |

2010 Andrew Will Merlot BTG Two Blondes VineyardColumbia Valley more |
10/8/2012 - noiregonian wrote: 92 pointsTwo Blondes has some kind of stems. Opened in a fit of pique, definitely would hold on to the others for a while longer. Deep, dark, dense, plush fruit; beautiful balance, resonant finish. Had open for two days, impressive from first to last glass. |

2003 Bergström Pinot Noir Broadley VineyardWillamette Valley more |
8/3/2012 - noiregonian wrote: 90 pointsDeep, dark, dense - this is pushing a decade? First night very woody and tannic, dark fruits just on the outside; second night much more approachable and balanced. Def on the darker side of Pinot though |

2004 Chehalem Pinot Noir ReserveWillamette Valley more |
7/18/2012 - noiregonian wrote: 92 pointsSupple, silky, sexy! A classic example of finesse, fruit and finish - red fruit and licorice on nose; solid core of ripe acidity and elegant balance, and a lingering finish. Delicious now, can go for years more. |

Dark, dense, ripe fruit on the palate; firm yet voluptuous texture; balanced, elegant, lingering finish. Rather elegant and naughty, all at the same time. |

2005 Ken Wright Chardonnay Celilo VineyardColumbia Gorge more |
3/24/2011 - noiregonian wrote: flawedSeriously disappointing!! Uncorked anticipating the distinctive Celilo nose and crisp minerality, and BOTH bottles were off. Both purchased directly from winery, and in Eurocave since. Somewhere between oxidized and corked in nose and taste, color off as well. |
