The Lost River style involves a lot more oak than I prefer, but there's no denying that the wines are well-made and show a distinct, professional house style that's evident from vintage to vintage. The Cote-Wall is a co-ferment, showing violets, raspberry, plum and a hint of orange julius on the finish. Will probably rate it more highly when future bottles develop secondary complexity.

Still good, but losing it's core of fruit--time to drink up, this isn't an ager. Flavors are soft raspberry, cinnamon and malted milk balls.
