Another solid vintage of this wine. Fermented in Neutral French Oak and features floral, apricots, pear and minerals. Medium finish. Very nice wine.

Minerals, apple, spice, floral and pear. Short to medium finish. Good acidity. Very nice wine for under $20.

Sixto continues to produce some of my favorite Chardonnays from Washington. More complexity and depth to them. Too many are making very neutral, boring Chardonnays. Minerals, apple, spice and pear. Mild oak on the finish. Drink now to 2023.

Spice, orange peel, oak, apple and Carmel. Complex wine and you could actually decant this wine. Amazingly when I was in the tasting room in Walla Walla I got an email from a local St. Paul Wine Shop that was offering this wine on their Monday Madness deal for $30 a bottle. Easy six pack purchase.

Stone fruits, minerals, lemon, sour apple and neutral oak influence. Complex, fruit driven wine. Medium plus finish and good acidity. Consume these over the next six years.

Mild oak, pear, Carmel and spices. Complex wine and nice finish. This should drink well for another five plus years.

Tropical fruit, mild oak, vanilla, spice and minerals. Medium plus finish and good acidity. Another winner from Sixto and a little more intense than the other Chardonnays in the lineup.

My least favorite in the Sixto lineup but that is not saying much as I gave this wine 91 points. Lemon, pear, sour apple and floral notes. Short to medium finish.

Strawberry, raspberries, floral an stone. I still believe the best Rose wines are made from Rhone varietals. I love Syrah & the blended wines. This wine is an excellent example of complexity in a Rose.

Another great Grenache wine from Washington State. Fragrant wine with Garrique, stone, raspberries, earth and dust. While not a Southern Rhone wine it certainly has some similar characteristics. Drink now to 2025.

Smoke, roasted meats, black pepper and dark fruits. Medium plus finish. This is drinking well now but recommend a good decant or drink after 2022.

Wow! Classic rocks vineyard quality. Funk, spice, raspberries, blueberries, smoke and white pepper. K is making some of the best Syrah wines in the world for the money. This is no exception.

Lots of potential here. Plum, black olives, smoke, chocolate and pepper. A bit tight and needs time but the wine should evolve. Drink 2022 to 2030.

80% Cabernet Sauvignon/20% Syrah. Another hit with blueberries, Bing cherries, oak, vanilla, floral and pencil lead. Medium to long finish. Complex wine and aging will reward these bottles. 92-94.

$70 for a domestic Malbec? I like it but half the price would work for me. Cherry, plum, spice and earth. Medium plus finish. Very drinkable right now.

Tempranillo seems to be a logical grape to plant more of in Washington as all of the wines I have sampled have been excellent. Very smooth wine with cherry, raspberries, earth, floral and stone. Certainly would not mistake this for Rioja or Riberia but enjoyable.

Solid offering. Pretty wine with floral, earth, red currants and subtle spice. Very smooth, medium plus finish. Drink now to 2024.

This wine continues to impress on every vintage I have tasted. This features dust, cherry, stone, floral and pepper. Medium to long finish. Complex and multilayered. Drink now to 2028.

Cherry, spice, plum, menthol and earth. This wine was rocking on this occasion and it helped it had some air time. Decant this for a few hours if drinking currently however these will age for another six/seven years.

Great potential here. Pencil lead, blueberries, smoke, oak, earth and rose petals. Medium to long finish and this wine needs a heavy decant or hold until 2023.

Day 1: Certainly not a traditional Sangiovese. Spice, red hots, floral and bright fruits. Too much heat for my liking. Loved the Motor City Kitty and the Boy but this is not to my liking. Might get better over a few days. 85 points
Day 2: This is why I do day 2 and 3!!! Transformation time. Floral, spice, earth, sour cherries and minerals. This is quite tasty. Not in the league of the Boy or Motor City but certainly a game changer on day 2. 90 points
Day 3: Again better than day 1. Mild funk, minerals, floral, spices and earth. A little burnt toast on the finish. 89 points
Recommendation: Don't buy this if you are seeking Chianti. I would not purchase again but at $20 it was worth a try but not full retail.

Day 1: Medium purple. Just smoking! Mild funk, roasted meats, menthol, black pepper, blackberries, dark cherries and dark chocolate. A big wine but no heat. Certainly some spices mixed in. Medium plus finish and delicious.
Day 2: A little bit better with funk, roasted meats, pepper, blackberries, black licorice and dark chocolate. Medium plus finish and concentrated wine. 92.5 points.
Day 3: Even better. This is a long term ager. Black pepper, roasted meats, blackberries, dark cherries, some wood and dark chocolate. Reminds me of a well made Aussie Shiraz of the early 2000s. Very big but balanced. 93 points
Recommendation: Buy and sit on for 3 to 5 years. This will drink through 2030.
