April 13, 2019 - A bruiser when I was looking for a finesser. Too much internal battle going on here for my tastes, but oddly the wife was enamored. I haven't had much luck with MBs over recent years; perhaps I was wrong that their house style suited my ageing tastes. 89-he | 93-she

February 26, 2017 - PnP. Unexpectedly tannic on opening, this really smoothed out over the course of an hour. Easily has another few years before it tops out.

December 15, 2016 - PNP'd at dinner. Dark fruit on the nose, dark berries, plums and a touch of spice on the palate. A nice smooth finish.

October 23, 2016 - Cork had bled through...tasted cooked or oxidized. Lots of heavy plum/prune fruit. Raisins. Overly sweet and lacking the lovely pepper and funk I got on the first bottle. Sad it was my last 2009 MB.

8/3/2011 (link) ***** points(Maison Bleue Liberte Syrah Boushey Vineyard Yakima Valley) An incredibly complex wine with mineral notes, high toned violets, pomegranate, dark fruit, and what I can only describe as a savage feel. Completely coats the palate from end to end with pure, rich, intense fruit flavors. A beautifully structured, pure wine with restrained oak and a seemingly endless finish. Though drinking well now, this wine will age gracefully for decades. 100% Syrah. Aged in French oak (20% new) for 10 months. 14.7% alcohol. 196 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.
