2015 Herman Story Milk & HoneyPaso Robles Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
4/17/2024 - fitchbuck Likes this wine: 91 pointsWhile still drinkable... this has seen far better days & was on the downward schnide for me over the few nights drunk. (Perhaps it was the provenance, reaching for this one off Winebid, who's 'plonk' rate has a far higher % than any other reseller I've known.) |

2018 Ridge Zinfandel Pagani RanchSonoma Valley more |
4/3/2024 - fitchbuck wrote: 88 pointsOver three nights. For everything that comes with the Ridge cache, this sure underperforms. Nothing offensive, mind you - but I surely won't be plonking down 32 bones again, for a CA wine whose quality matches that of a $12 WA red. Characterless, mundane. And the V95 from Galloni is a joke... |

2019 No Girls Double Lucky #8Walla Walla Valley Red Blend more |
3/28/2024 - fitchbuck Likes this wine: 92 pointsMore twang on the tongue than The Mother Label. Finishes very muted and open. Doesn't possess the snuff to be aged ... will only lose its uniqueness IMO. [*edit* definitely lost its oomph on nights 2 and 3.] |

3/12/2024 - fitchbuck Likes this wine: 93 pointsWas worried about the age here (and $22 auction get) so a quick P&P, instead of the usual decant. WOW this juice was singing from the get-go, interesting savory notes that make your mouth water & immediately wanting to come back for more... while the fruit plays 2nd fiddle. WOTY thus far. Night #2 wasn't quite as joyous, so recommendation is to drink now. 94,92. |

2015 B. Leighton Gratitude Olsen Brothers VineyardYakima Valley Mourvèdre Blend, Mourvèdre more |
2/29/2024 - fitchbuck Likes this wine: 91 pointsOnto its tertiary phase, and about ready to bomb-out... probably within the year. Nice fruit for what remains, but without the tannic tension this has become rather one-dimensional. Easily quaffable. Drink now. |

2009 K Vintners Syrah Royal CityWashington more |
2/24/2024 - fitchbuck Likes this wine: 92 pointsEven at 73 bones on auction, still not worthy QPR-wise. I often confuse this with the Heart and Old Bones, in that I come in expecting a bruiser... but here, I think that with the fine-grained approach of this syrah, these drink better earlier. |

2/9/2024 - fitchbuck Likes this wine: 92 pointsNo longer the hearty QPR it once was, I struggle to even want to pay 50 for these 2nd-hand. MSRP has swelled to a ridiculous 70 bones... 91-92 for this iteration. |

2016 Result of a Crush Syrah The Unnamed SeriesWalla Walla Valley more |
1/24/2024 - fitchbuck wrote: 86 pointsI've definitely soured on this series, as well as the mother label, over the past several years. It seems to me that quality & enjoyment has gone downhill once they went away from the "fun" of the original lips label. This particular offering is all iron, olive, & pepper - with very little length, nor a want to let it linger in the mouth. After the brilliance of the first few vintages, 'serviceable' is not good enough. |
