December 16, 2023 - Excellent Bordeaux blend with age. Still big but smooth. Drank with braised bison short rib.

April 24, 2022 - Not the blockbuster I was hoping for. Seems to be sliding down the hill. Fruit is losing some of it’s luster. I’ll likely drink my other bottle soon.

February 26, 2021 - A special wine - the nose is bursting with red currant and blackberry along with a whiff of chocolate. All of that is in the wine itself, presented in a soft, lush wine that caresses the mouth and delivers up a deep red black cherry flavor accompanied by a prominent streak of baker’s chocolate. Firm tannin that holds the wine together across the palate and carried to a lengthy finish. Acidity in perfect balance. Very sad to bid my last bottles of this goodbye. Some significant cork trouble as it crumbled and as I was away from my Durand I ultimately had to push the cork into the bottle - a dicey maneuver especially when wearing nice clothes. But, a successful operation, luckily.

March 27, 2020 - Waited too long on this, my last, bottle. The cork was in poor condition. upon opening the wine had a definite funk to the initial aroma and taste. I decanted it twice and let it sit. it improved but only to the point of being acceptable. The next day it was slightly better but still disappointing. Darn.

4/10/2009 (link) ***** points(Andrew Will Winery Sorella Horse Heaven Hills) Dark purple color. Vanilla, light pencil shavings, and soft oak interweave with dark fruit aromas. Perfectly structured and beautifully balanced. Drinking extremely well for its age although additional bottle time or decanting will only make it better. 71% Cabernet; 17% Merlot; 8% Cab Franc; 4% Petit Verdot. 14.7% alcohol. 1326 cases produced. Sampled at 63 degrees.
