  February 15, 2023 - Very nice. It needed to warm up from cellar temperature to open up. Aging well. Cork was still a problem child. I don’t know what it is about the 2007 & 08 Andrew Will corks. They dry out or stick. Humidity in the storage was constant 60%.

  January 29, 2023 - Tasted great, but lighter than I expected. Why are the corks in this vintage all bad? Out of 6 I’ve opened all 6 had corks that fell apart. If anything, my storage is on the humidity high side (65-70).

  September 13, 2021 - Surprisingly tannic. Deep garnet color, with deep garnet edge. Dark fruit flavors hint of a longer life. At least five years.

  April 24, 2021 - Plums and cherries with a hint of currant. Finishes a bit acidic.

  December 25, 2020 - Cork broke in half but eventually came out fine, without seepage or debris. 2-hour decant. Opaque purple with no sign of bricking. Nose features graphite, fireplace, and violets. Palate is intensely dark but not heavy: umami, blackberries, cherries, iron. Tannins are still present but are well-integrated and carry through a lengthy finish. Tons of fruit left. Very serious and well-made wine, fabulous with prime rib. Perhaps slightly better than a 2008 Cayuse Cab that it was served with, and leaps and bounds better than my previous 2008 Sorella (which had more significant cork issues). A benchmark Washington Bordeaux blend. I’m out of bottles but if you’re lucky enough to be holding these I suspect it will improve a little over the next 2-3 years and hold its peak for 5-7 more.
