Ok. Never became a big fan of this wine. Its ok but not remarkable to my liking.

4/14/2024 - Teamrehfeld wrote:

Very good. I like this wine. Medium bodied fruity, smokey, earthy, and spicy. Peppery undertones are so unique. This was nine years old but has held up well.

4/14/2024 - Teamrehfeld wrote:

Good. Dark fruit and full bodied. But well balanced. Recommend.

3/26/2024 - Teamrehfeld wrote:

Consistent with the other comments. Young, still a bit tight, did open up a bit to do show some dark fruit. Got a long life ahead.

Good. Very elegant wine.

3/2/2024 - Teamrehfeld wrote:

As always, quite good. Umami and minerals. Love it with bbq or pizza.

Have to tend to agree with the negative comments. Somewhat disappointed with thus blend. CVR is usually very good. This vintage was remarkable in its unremarkableness. Nothing stood out. Will see down the road.

Good. See other comments. Consistent with my experience.

Ok. Very tight. Much more relaxed and balanced on day two.

Good. No issues. All about pie cherries.

Good. Vr tight on open. Mellowed very quickly to rich dark fruit and lingering mild tannins. Lots of potential for cellaring.

Good. Maybe on the back side of its best. Do like this variety. This one showed its vegi/herbal characteristic.

Outstanding. Do like the flavor of this varietal.

Very good. Has aged well. Balanced and flavorful dark fruit and tannin. No pucker factor at all. Quite nice drinking.

Very good! Tastes just like pinot noir! Only better bc its from the Walla Walla Valley!

About the best deal out there. Twenty buck chuck and an outstanding wine.

2/1/2024 - Teamrehfeld wrote:

Pretty good! 50% syrah, 25 cab sauv and 25 merlot. Flavorful dark fruit forward well balanced wine. Easy drinking. Recommend.

1/26/2024 - Teamrehfeld wrote:

Very good! A few years aging have really done the trick. Much more integrated and approachable. Mellowed lingering tannins showcase the complex dark fruits.

1/25/2024 - Teamrehfeld wrote:

Not bad. No issues and good price to boot. Tempranillo clearly evident.

1/24/2024 - Teamrehfeld wrote:

Agree w 3 day wine review. Quite good. Love the bit o funk. Adds lots of character.

12/25/2023 - Teamrehfeld wrote:

Impressive! Much much better then last years. (The 21 was a bit to funky and not enuf CSish.) This vintage is a very well developed cab sauv with just a hint of the funk to make it interesting. Well done Rich!

Dont drink much sauv blanc. Agree w adonisd1956 s comments. Very good. We paired it with alaska halibut chowder. (Coincidental my bro junobob also paired with alaska botton fish earlier this month!) Got as a gift-frm jbob, thank you very much-but seems like a great wine fir the price. May need to visit devison to restock.

What a great bottle of wine at a great price. Rich, dark inky indigo color, full bodied dark fruit, and long lasting well integrated tannin. Highly recommend.

12/25/2023 - Teamrehfeld wrote:

Pretty good. Contains all six traditional Bordeaux red grapes. Opens tart but evolves into a nice drinking wine with mellowed dark fruits, tart cherries, and relaxed long lasting tannins. Lots of red mountain minerality.

12/15/2023 - Teamrehfeld wrote:

Always good. Like the bottles painted on label. Love the contents. See Jakes comments below.

12/14/2023 - Teamrehfeld wrote:

Good. Nice blend. 55 Temp, 36 syrah, and 9 cs. I like temp so i liked the wine. Blended for owner of restaurants LA and Chicago. Would buy again.

Good. Typical Rocks syrah. Blind taste test w 2019 No Girls. 2-2 draw for third year in a row.

Dont recall much abt this wine. Nothing bad but nothing remarkable either. Otherwise, this winery had a good reputation for their CF. And 2012 was a good year as i recall.

Must be an acquired taste. I m still working on it.

Still good. Certainly different. Live the citrus.

11/19/2023 - Teamrehfeld wrote:

Wow! I really mean, WOW! If there is a benchmark for Cab Sauv, it must be something along the lines of this wine. I dont have a lot of experience with wine but this is about as good as i ve ever had. Amazing. No point in detailing nuances. Read the other reviews. This smells heavenly, is balanced, deliciously dark fruited, and drinkable right now. Dont wait, drink now as i dont know how it could possibly get any better. (But we ve a couple more bottles just in case it does improve.) Enjoy. We sure did.

11/17/2023 - Teamrehfeld wrote:

Just Ok. Must be me. This seems thin and light. And not remarkable. We buy much better Washington blends for considerably less.

Dang good stuff. Umami, meaty, dark colored, very herbal and very similar to rocks district rhone wines from washington & oregon. Yum.

Still just ok. Not remarkable. Inky black color, soft tannins, and low acidity. But No noticeable herbal or tobacco notes.
