8/31/2023 - NelsonMan Likes this wine: 91 pointsYoung....very nice nose. Palate shows sweet spice, bright, juicy. Tannins suggest interesting years ahead |

8/15/2023 - NelsonMan Does not like this wine: 75 pointsVery unbalanced. Too hot, still very tannic, bitter aspirin. Part of WL mystery case and it is a mystery why they consider this drinkable. Shame |

9/26/2022 - NelsonMan Does not like this wine: 79 pointsI enjoy budget wines but this has nothing to recommend. Way to syrupy and unbalanced. Hints of aspirin of all things |

8/10/2022 - NelsonMan Likes this wine: 92 pointsWOW. I had relatively muted expectations given the age. And then the cork was crumbly so my expectations dropped even more. But the bottle opened up up nicely. Blackberries and dark chocolate still going strong. Sad that it's my last bottle |

8/2/2022 - NelsonMan Likes this wine: 92 pointsNeeds more time. Jammy, hints of tobacco, bold. Good QPR at <$30 WL. Second bottle very good....but I wish I read my own note about needing more time lol |

8/1/2022 - NelsonMan wrote: 87 pointsNose shows lots of promise but fails on palate. Perhaps young, but seems unbalanced with too much heat and not enough fruit. Will wait to open the other bottle. |

4/4/2022 - NelsonMan wrote: 90 pointsFruit bomb, so you need to be in the mood for that, but at the $20 sale price it's a ridiculous QPR. Great cocktail wine with a nose to die for. Wouldn't necessarily serve with food given the fruit forward |

2/24/2022 - NelsonMan Does not like this wine: 75 pointsI cannot believe this wine retails for $150. It is amateurishly unbalanced, thin on the palate, and has a strange bitter after taste (not to be confused with tannins). I was a sucker buying this at a "secret" discount, only to end up with something so unpleasant. This is the second of three bottles for me, so it isn't bottle variation. I have no idea what I am going to do with the third... |

10/28/2021 - NelsonMan Likes this wine: 90 pointsA very good example of a Washington State red, so if you like new worldy, fruit forward reds, you will like this. I was in the mood so this hit the spot. I would buy more at the sale price of $20. |

2016 Tayson Pierce Cabernet Sauvignon Cuvée RothchildNapa Valley more |
9/14/2021 - NelsonMan Likes this wine: 89 pointsMy second bottle. I loved the first one so was excited to have this with a bone in ribeye. Verdict: decent, but disappointing. Seemed flabby in the middle and lacked the back palate. My last glass, however, was much better, so it could mean that this needs more air time than normal. |
