A solid wine with a great balance of fruit, acid, and earthy notes. Tannins still present and drinking well now. It can probably lay down for another several years, but I think it's at its peak, so drink now without regret.

Reflective of a Bordeaux blend. Nice medium bodied wine with forward red fruit (a hint of raspberry) and a nice earthy finish. Still has good structure and could easily probably go another year or two.

Two hour decant. Pleasant left bank inspired blend from Walla Walla. Medium bodied. Nose and palate were fairly consistent with sweet earth notes, coffee, eucalyptus and fresh red berries. On the tongue, the nicely integrated tannins led to a thin mid palate, and finished decidedly hot. Disjointed but distinctive for a wet, sweet earth character, definitely indicative of Walla Walla terroir.

Just returned from a delightful trip to the Walla Walla wine country and took this wine to a dinner group gathering. This wine was velvety and a perfect pairing to braised beef tips. It was even better than I recalled from the tasting at the winery.

A notch up from the bottle 2 months ago. This one had more fruit left in the tank and it's keeping pace with the acidity and tannins. Followed for two days and it held up pretty well over that time. 5+11+16+8 = 90
