December 9, 2018 - Library Wine Tasting: 2007-2015 subduction Red.
2007 - this once great wine has passed it's prime. Sour nose and flat body. Did not hold up like some of the other older wines. drink now
July 7, 2017 - Showing age with a soft round feel and brick coloring. Still very drinkable
February 17, 2012 - It was a nice blend and I do like blends. Nothing exceptional, but good.
January 11, 2012 - The first sip of this wine gave a strong recollection of cherry cough syrup. But I decided to give it a chance, ignored it for awhile and tried again after it sat in the glass. Big improvement. Still had definite dark cherry but no longer syrup-like. An interesting and unique Rhone style blend from the lower Columbia Valley, though more fruit forward than its French cousins.
December 5, 2010 - Tart cherry and cranberry on the nose, red tart fruits on the palate. Soft silky tannins. Vanilla and toasty oak on the finish.
January 26, 2010 - Decent wine, but nothing to distinguish it. Would not seek this wine out.
January 2, 2010 - Great French-style red blend. Had again and it's even better when it opens up (or use an aerator) and with food. Excellent for the price point. Hard to find outside the Pacific NW. Worth asking your local wine steward if they can get it.
November 27, 2009 - Very nice blend with crisp flavors of raspberry, cherries and spice. Balanced and smooth finish.
June 12, 2009 - Smooth and velvety on the tongue. Red berries and pepper/spices. Medium length finish.
April 3, 2009 - Did it again. The '07 drinks beautifully, perhaps even better than the '06.
