September 16, 2016 - Lots of red fruit on the nose especially strawberry and raspberry followed by spice and pepper followed by just a hint of vanilla. Nice acidity and a long finish to boot. This wine does not disappoint. Last of 3 bottles purchased and wish I had more.

July 16, 2016 - May be going through an awkward phase. Nice red berries and firm acidity but ever so slightly disjointed at this point.

February 20, 2015 - Multiple winner, the Saviah Cellars' 2011 Elephant Mountain Vineyard GSM won best in show at the 2014 Great Northwest Wine Competition in Hood River, Ore. as well as a Double Gold in last years Seattle Wine Awards. This wine has the bouquet of an Oregon Pinot Noir but the finish of a Syrah. Its still light and delicate with loads of red berries especially raspberries an just a nice hint of pepper spice. Very light on oak as you might expect. Needed about 20 mins to open up but its been smooooooooth sailing since then. An excellent wine from a very tough vintage!
