4/1/2024 - Joelene wrote: 92 pointsThis bottle showed even better with great acidity, grip and focus. Best within first hour. After two hours the acidity sifted too much and this got a little fat and flabby. |

1998 I Giusti & Zanza Dulcamara Toscana IGTRed Bordeaux Blend more |
3/23/2024 - Joelene wrote: 92 pointsThis needs air, great nose but first sip seemed almost flawed, after an hour or two really blossomed and out in weight and some fruit. Spicy and skanky. Delightful… |

2012 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Galitzine VineyardRed Mountain more |
2/26/2024 - Joelene wrote: 93 pointsProbably still needs time, very balanced wine but perhaps a tad boring right now. Came in 3rd out of 4 Washington Reds in a blind tasting. Recommend hold or long decant as the last sip was the best. |

2007 Cayuse Syrah En Chamberlin VineyardWalla Walla Valley more |
2/26/2024 - Joelene wrote: 94 pointsWow what a nose of glue, rubber cement, sweet tobacco and game. Delicious wine, with plum and cherry fruit, very Northern Rhone like. Had also some Burgundy ish qualities. Well made wine in a very enjoyable style. Drinking perfectly from open but also held if not improved with long decant. |
