PnP with dinner guests. Initially thought it was flawed (dumped my glass), but guests thought it was fine. Unsure if they were just being nice so opened a completely different bottle so there was an alternative. About 3/4 of original bottle was consumed and bottle was open for about 4 hours. Finished rest of bottle today and was much better. Takeaway, give this one a good decant first...

Drinking really well now. This brings old school BDX vibes with new world intensity. Good now, but likely really good in five years or so. Learning the hard way that Washington state BDX blends often reward patience more than they initially let on.

(Sheridan Vineyard Mystique) Hello friends. We’re trying to thread the Sheridan Vineyard needle with today’s offer timing-wise. This one was originally scheduled for after Labor Day, but one of the wines on offer is depleting so rapidly in the market-at-large that it will be sold out by then (a 94pt Advocate review for a wine in the $20s will do that). The original reason for waiting until September was that we wanted to offer two of Sheridan’s crown jewels, and the release date for both is not until Sept 1. The way we decided to get around that issue is that we’re essentially offering those two (Singularity and Block 1) as a pre-sale: order today, and then the wine will be delivered in early September. Four wines total on offer today, really representing the breadth of Scott Greer’s vigneron excellence with Sheridan. From prices in the twenties to north of a hundy, these wines always represent fine value for the tag. Let’s dive in: This is the wine I mentioned above; the one that is going to be sold out within the next few weeks. It’s a 50/40/10 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cab Franc, all from Sheridan’s estate vineyards. It clocks in at 14.1% listed alc and offers incredible depth and intensity for the tariff. Deep red and black berry and cherry fruits are shot through with threads of smoke and mint. Balanced, delicious, completely seductive. And not long for this world.

Enjoyed with a nice ribeye steak. Plenty of years left.

Solid value good dark plum and blackberry/cassis, minty herbs, with decent tannic structure suggesting another 3 - 5 yrs window.
