2015 Cayuse Cabernet Sauvignon Wallah Wallah Special Walla Walla Valleymore |
4/25/2024 - Radboy wrote: 94 pointsNice fruit, polish and smooth finish. Drank beside a 2015 Bordeaux and the latter stole the show. But quite enjoyable and I see no reason to hold. |

2001 Château GuiraudSauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
4/25/2024 - Radboy wrote: 94 pointsTerrific wine. Opens with honeyed apricots, orange marmalade and a hint of lime. Excellent balance with a dark, golden color the envy of winemakers everywhere. No need to wait any longer, it is time. |

2010 Château Malartic-LagravièrePessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/24/2024 - Radboy wrote: 93 pointsHints of forest floor and earth on the somewhat subdued nose, this has a solid dark berry fruit that is a nice foil for the surprisingly focused tannins. A concentrated wine. Not a long finish but one that has character and panache. Perfect with grilled tuna. Better as it opens after 90 minutes suggesting it will hold for a bit. I wonder if the fruit will hold beyond 3-5 years. |

2012 Cayuse Syrah Cailloux VineyardWalla Walla Valley more |
4/19/2024 - Radboy wrote: 95 pointsThis is liquid earth. Berries intermeshed with gravel and dusty leaves. Polish. Dark as the night. Clean finish that goes on and on. An underlying hint of black olives that never fully emerges. Delicious! |

2005 Château La GaffelièreSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/18/2024 - Radboy wrote: 93 pointsThis opens with a somewhat muted nose, but still a bit fragrant with prunes and raisins. Nice balance, dark berry fruit with cardamon and earth. Layers of concentrtion. A lovely drink. Seems ready to go. |

2016 Reynvaan Family Vineyards Syrah StonessenceWalla Walla Valley more |
4/13/2024 - Radboy wrote: 94 pointsDeeply defined dark berry with an amalgam of tart cherries, hibiscus, and dark earth. Layers of complexity, albeit on the dark side of wine drinking. No glamour here! Gritty, hedonistic in a non-sumptuous way, smacked you in da f*cking mouth with a fist full of gravel kinda wine. Pinot drinkers run for the exits! This brings a point to the end of the pencil in its definition and clarity, albeit into the dark waters… |

2021 Château Pradeaux Bandol VespréeMourvèdre more |
4/13/2024 - Radboy wrote: 95 pointsThis is simply a stellar Rose’ and the best I have enjoyed. The color is a stunning salmon pink that is almost orange. There is a rounded mouthfeel that is slightly tannic, probably from the lack of de-stemming. There is definitely bright strawberry fruit with a surprising minerality throughout leading to a hint of lime on the finish. The delectable sweetness makes this impossible to resist. Hopefully 2022 can rise to this level of goodness! I am in for as much as I can afford! |

2008 Château Pontet-CanetPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/29/2024 - Radboy wrote: 93 pointsA big, dark, inky bastard this one is! Deep berry fruit, hints of cinnamon, and a whiff of green pepper. The tannins are still primary, somewhat remarkable considering the age. I will let this rest another 2-3 years and then revisit. |

2008 Saint-Chamant Champagne Brut Cuvee de Chardonnaymore |
3/29/2024 - Radboy wrote: 95 pointsWe started off with a half glass and not entirely chilled temperature and there were strong green apple and honeysuckle notes. Second glass was right off the iced carafe and this brought more expression from the bubbles. Buttered toast with fresh fruit with a slight hint of nuts on the finish. Damn tooting this is good juice! I need to order more! |

2014 Maison Bleue Syrah Voyageur Yellow Jacket VineyardWalla Walla Valley more |
3/29/2024 - Radboy wrote: 91 pointsDelicious wine that is full bodied and well balanced. This held up well at the 10 year mark. Plums, currents and hints of dark earth. I suspect it will start fading in the next year or two. |

3/23/2024 - Radboy wrote: 90 pointsStrawberries and dark fruit for a bubbly. I didn’t pick up some of the more traditional bread or toast notes as others have. A bit spendy for the quality IMHO. I prefer Billecart Salmon at this price point. |

2017 Cayuse God Only KnowsWalla Walla Valley Grenache more |
3/22/2024 - Radboy wrote: 95 pointsDrank with a two hour plus decant. It opens with smoky notes with deep strawberry and rich earth. Perfectly balanced with a polished finish. In a great spot but should continue to evolve. |

2019 Devison Vintners Above the Flood Boushey VineyardYakima Valley Red Rhone Blend more |
1/14/2024 - Radboy wrote: 94 pointsThis really shone on this night. 1 hour plus decant no doubt helped. Devison continues to deliver the goods. A mouthful of fruit deftly balanced with an impeccable finish. I really need to quit drinking these so it can get some additional aging under its belt. All he really needed was some discipline… |

1/13/2024 - Radboy wrote: 94 pointsDark berry fruit, cedar, tobacco, and hints of mint with an earthy finish. This is in a real sweet spot. Bold fruit for a Cab in a New World style, nevertheless this has Bordeaux characteristics as well. Yum. |
