7/26/14, 4:39 PM - Probably TCA contamination. Although most folks routinely blame the cork, TCA is a naturally occurring compound that can come from wine barrels and bottling equipment as easily as from the cork.
12/22/13, 4:53 PM - Couldn't agree more. The 2010 Uriah is a beaut!
9/1/13, 5:30 PM - Excellent wine indeed. A favorite in our house.
8/21/13, 7:10 PM - We've enjoyed this wonderful Cab as well. Used to live just 3 miles from the winery, north of Spokane. Cheers!
7/7/13, 6:45 PM - My wife and I are big fans of Brian's wines... and Trentenaire is no exception. If you want any assistance with that vertical tasting just let us know!
7/7/13, 6:41 PM - Very nice review. My wife and I love the 2009 Long Shadows Sequel.
7/6/13, 2:42 PM - Nicely stated. This is one of my wife and my favorite inexpensive Ports. Sure can't beat the price!
7/6/13, 2:40 PM - This Syrah is one of our favorites. Guess we're going to have to open one of the three bottles we have left.
7/6/13, 2:38 PM - Haven't been to Ray's since the big remodel. It has been a family favorite for many years, so I think we're a bit afraid that the remodel might have ruined it. LOLGuess we'll just have to give it a try soon to see. By the way, the wife and I absolutely love Darighe, and also their Maghee Merlot. Cheers!
7/6/13, 2:36 PM - You have got to be kidding! Oregon has such wonderful wines... why would a downtown Portland restaurant not have any available. Just plain crazy.
7/6/13, 2:30 PM - Nice description. Couldn't agree more.
7/6/13, 2:25 PM - Between your review and our thoroughly enjoying the 2007 and 2008 vintages its making it very difficult for me to hold off opening a bottle of the 2009 Byzance. I think I'm just going to have to find an excuse to do so.
7/6/13, 2:22 PM - Well stated!
7/6/13, 2:19 PM - You're making it very hard to be patient... I may have to open my D2 sooner, rather than later.
7/6/13, 2:17 PM - Based upon a glass I had at a friends house, and the other reviews here, I would hazard a guess that your bottle was corked.
7/6/13, 2:14 PM - I picked up a couple bottles of the Cab Sauv Lot 1 in January. I intended to lay them down for a few years, but you're making it difficult to be patient! =^)
7/6/13, 2:10 PM - Good to know. I picked up a couple bottles bases solely on prior vintages. Have not yet cracked one open. Thanks for the review.
7/6/13, 2:08 PM - I completely agree Ottnmia. I think that the 2007 Corrida was incredible, and that the younger 2009 shows more promise than the 2008.
11/18/12, 9:35 AM - Love your review Dave... wish I was half as eloquent.
2/26/12, 4:58 PM - Don't mean to be a snob, or to irritate you, but 82 points would describe a wine that is slightly better than average. From your description, this sounded like a poor wine on a very poor wine list. My own feeling are stated in my review, but suffice to say that I didn't give it anywhere near that high a rating.
9/3/11, 11:10 AM - Maybe you got a bad bottle? We had this Tempranillo with paella at a Spanish wine tasting, and it was a huge hit. There were 22 people present, and a number of the members of the group are experienced and nuanced wine aficionados... I can't imagine that all 22 of us were fooled that badly. (Not trying to be confrontational; just confused!)
7/23/11, 10:24 AM - Apologies to anyone who read the review I wrote (from my cell phone) in the first 48 hours after it was posted... My phone auto-corrected what it thought to be a couple of incorrect terms, which made portions of the review somewhat less than understandable. =^)
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
