I got lucky to get this bottle of their very first vintage. Honestly I was 99% sure it will be dead but it turned out that this wine is still fruity and can still last! It will probably not get any better with age but there is still potential in terms of aging. Anyways the 73 vintage was a 99 point wine so buy it if you find it!!!

The Eyrie Vineyards Fiftieth Anniversary Tasting (Portland Art Museum): The nose is engaging and complex. Deep cherry scents are entwined with dried cherries, a touch of oak, and some red tea. The wine is gentle and pure on contact. The duo of dried and ripe cherries show themselves here as well. The age of the wine shows with the dried fruit, and a touch of oak on the mid palate. The acidity is just right, keeping the wine crisp, and settling into the gums on the finish. The red tea, dried cherries, and some oak linger, and the tannins build on the back of the tongue after multiple sips.

Eyrie Vineyards 50th Anniversary Vertical Tasting (Portland Art Museum): Initially open and fragrant off the pour. Bright, light red-orange with light clear edge. Still had good acidity. Short finish, but in good condition. Only 43 years old...
Picked 10/4; Brix 22.5; pH 3.53
