1996 Château LanessanHaut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/25/2024 - Jason Likes this wine: 90 pointsSolid aged Bordeaux. Cedar shavings on the nose. Earthiness and dark fruit on the palette. Well integrated. At peak but no need to rush. If you haven’t had an aged Pauillac, this is a good approximation. Cellared since 2007. |

3/20/2023 - Jason wrote: 94 pointsMartha and Steve’s “house label”. This was glorious. I often think the Oregon Pinot doesn’t really age. I think that’s wrong. It ages differently, yes, than burgundy. You don’t usually get teriary notes before it falls apart. What you get with a great bottle is resolution This bottle has done exactly that. It is fully integrated Still plenty of fruit Perfectly balanced. Not a ton of complexity but so enjoyable. From the best vineyard in Oregon |

1/4/2023 - Jason Likes this wine: 89 pointsFirst time with this wine. Thick mouthfeel. Strong element of white grape (grapiness). Sweet finish My first reaction was to look at the label to see if it wasn’t a brut. It is but it’s odd. |

3/3/2022 - Jason wrote: 91 pointsGreat shape. Great nose if leather and earth. Based on the nose I didn’t expect much fruit on the palate but they are there Loads of seeet fruit. Not tons of complexity but a solid wine overall. Not near dying but I don’t see it getting better |

11/29/2021 - Jason wrote: 88 pointsSolid wine for the price Seems to have been acidified but in a good way. Lots of Oregon Pinot elements. Pinot funk nose. Cherry candy with some smoke palate great length. Doesn’t have much complexity but for a Monday night Pinot it works well. |

2017 Delmas Syrah SJR VineyardThe Rocks District of Milton-Freewater more |
10/23/2020 - Jason wrote: 93 pointsClassic rocks fruit. If you want to see what all the fuss about the Walla Walla rocks district, this is a good wine to try. Huge, sweaty, blackberry nose. Palate follows. Lacking a bit of complexity but solid all around. |

1999 Domaine des Rémizières Hermitage Cuvée ÉmilieSyrah more |
11/2/2019 - Jason wrote: 88 pointsFine. Like in a midwestern way. It was fine. Nothing wrong with it but nothing great either. No structure left. Not much secondary flavors. Decent finish. Boring. Not remotely worth storing it for 20 years. |

2016 Château La Tour de BessanMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/2/2019 - Jason Likes this wine: 90 pointsFirst 2016 Bordeaux. Classic Bordeaux nose. Floral. Earthy nose. Palate is very ripe. I think there is some structure there, but sweet dark fruit is dominate right now. This should improve well with age. |

2016 Sheridan Vineyard MystiqueYakima Valley Red Blend more |
12/9/2018 - Jason wrote: 90 pointsThe best value in Washington wine right now. Prominent vineyard and strong winemaker are an impressive combination, and it’s $20. It lacks of the structure and unctuous mouthfeel it’s more expensive siblings have from Sheridan, but it doesn’t lack much. Well worth seeking out. |

12/1/2018 - Jason wrote: 89 pointsThis is a pleasant surprise. Nose of peaches and jasmine flowers. Palate is the best part. Zinging acidity and enough fruit to handle it. Not wildly complex but very enjoyable. |

11/20/2018 - Jason wrote: 82 pointsI don’t understand the big scores for this wine at all. No structure. Flabby. It’s smooth and round but lacks any grip (or reason to keep sipping it). Extremely disappointing. I have 5 more. Want to buy them. |
