Great wine

Farewell to a great little Walla Walla winery. This was drinking very nicely now. Unfortunately this was the last bottle.

Typical expression of Zenith. Fruit forward with dark fruits. Very enjoyable now and suspect it will become more complex given a couple of years.

Tasting real good now. Extremely elegant. Raspberry and floral notes with a nice finish

This wine was gorgeous. Well structured deep under tones . Aged beautifully. Dark fruits , hints of tobacco. The kind of cab I spend way more in Napa

Very complete Pinot for the price.

Wine definitely needs decanting time of a couple of hrs. Started opening up nice integration with dark fruit presence.

2/25/2017 - carlb128 Likes this wine:

Dark and complex. Medium finish

2/14/2017 - carlb128 Likes this wine:

Near the top of my WA cabs. Complex with long lingering finish and incredible mouth feel. Comparable to Napa cabs at 3X the price

Rare Oregon chard with enough oak finish to give nice mouth feel and lingering finish seen in big calf chard. Yet displays unique OR minerality and stone fruits

This is truly a beautiful wine in the exquisite white burgundy style. Soft lingering finish balanced against nice acidity.

Drinking really well now
A simple balanced wine

8/9/2016 - carlb128 Likes this wine:

Really well balanced and polished. Great mouth feel while clean on the pallette and long finish

This wine evolved nicely and is drinking really well for a 2011. Surprisingly well rounded with smooth finish.

Expected more from this after a couple years in the cellar. Beautiful nose and nice dark fruit up front, but the finish is surprisingly short and leaves you wanting. Guess I'll hold my other bottle for a couple more years.

Decanted. At 30min mark seemed a bit plumy. After 1-2 hours very enjoyable. Excellent blend with heavy dark fruit overtones.

11/27/2015 - carlb128 Likes this wine:

Nicely concentrated dark fruit up front but really didn't finish as well as I would expect

Excellent representation of this vintage.

Really beautiful dark fruit great Expression of the 2012 vintage. Soft tannins lead to a fine satisfying finish

Loads of dark fruit on the mid pallette
Finish is medium to long
Showing well right now

Nice slight oak finish
Citrus notes with apple and good mineral notes on the pallette

Plenty of dark fruit, and a beautiful finish now. Great with smoked brisket. Glad I held it for 4 years.

Absolutely my favorite Chardonnay ever. Really nice Oregon chard fruit characteristics with a beautiful oak finish that is not overdone. Really best of both worlds. Beautiful light straw color.

1/18/2015 - carlb128 Likes this wine:

More straw colored than most WA chards. Rich mouth feel and nice oak notes. Finish was a bit short though.

This wine is really coming around and becoming more balanced. Nice earth tones

Dark fruits on the palette. Somewhat tight at first, after 1-2 hrs and end of the bottle, very nice smooth finish.

Dark fruit, excellent texture and mouth feel. Nice lingering finish. By the the end of the bottle really smooth. The Mourvedre really comes through on this for me and adds great complexity. Can't wait to see what a couple more years brings on the remaining bottles.

Very enjoyable. Nice dark fruit and cherries on the nose. A moderately long finish. The Cab Franc adds some nice depth and earthy tones.

This had the usual soft tannin of a Merlot, but I found it more complex with a nice lingering finish that made it much better than most Merlots.

Fairlydeep complex. Cherry and dark fruit on the nose A good representation of Walla Walla cab. Tannis did come on strong, would expect to be better with age.
