2008 Cayuse Syrah Armada Vineyard 93 Points
USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Walla Walla Valley
Fruity, peppery note. A little bit hot. Young (A-/A). Very tasty, young palate. (B++/A-). Seems to have room to improve by another 1 or 2 points with a couple of years in the cellar.

2007 Gemstone Cabernet Sauvignon 89 Points

Very dark color. Excellent nose. (B++). A little bit tannic upon opening, but softens with time in the glass (B+/B++). Seems like this would benefit from a few years in the cellar.

1985 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 88 Points

Lightest color of the wines in this flight. Nose is nice, but appears to be too old and slightly flawed (B/B+). Soft palate (B+/B++). I've had this wine twice recently and I liked it much more then.
