  My last 2007. Wanted to see how well these Scallop Shelf bottles aged, even beyond what Peay says. Their drinking window stopped at 2020 but two years on from that, its still amazing. You get an incredible aged Burgundy aroma in the glass. Its light but the finish is very long with almost a smokiness to it. Just a great wine. You can't beat the story either. I won't recount it here but look it up. Awesome stuff. I have a vertical remaining from 2010 to 2019. Looking forward to see how the aging vines do after 15+ years.

  Decanted off fine sediment after standing it up for 1 week, then back into bottle. This was a bit weird of a wine. Aromas of green beans, really ripe cherries, minerals, earth and some green stems. Palate initially showed a melange of very ripe cherries, green herbs, stems and minerals. But 1.5 h later, the stems became very prominent and then flipped over to really ripe cherries about 30 minutes later. Still with nice acids throughout but just don't know what to make of this wine now. Have 1 more bottle that I'll hold for several more years in the hopes that it will integrate.

  Somewhat disjointed. Nice nose, but somewhat sour on the palate. Maybe past it’s prime or a bad bottle?

  Funky nose. Improved the next day, but I think this one was past its prime.

  Ruby color. Nose of berry, cinnamon, violets. Layers of poised but ripe raspberry and black cherry fruit on the palate cut with bits of brier and earth. Disciplined structure despite the abundance of fruit. Nice acidity and smoothed tannin. Longer finish of mulberry and raspberry fruit hovering over a stony core, with just a hint of heat. Quite delicious, and capable of further evolution.
