March 24, 2024 - Incredible QPR on this. In perfect drinking window right now. Dark fruit and herbs and well integrated oak, and tannins have mellowed wonderfully.
January 26, 2024 - Very good! A few years aging have really done the trick. Much more integrated and approachable. Mellowed lingering tannins showcase the complex dark fruits.
December 27, 2023 - Holding up well, especially at this price point. Good notes of bright fruit, thick mouth feel.
July 9, 2023 - Talk about a wine punching way above its weight class! Wow! Needed a couple of years in bottle to come together. What a QPR. Testament to how much promise Walla Walla has.
November 2, 2022 - Solid, as always. Varietally and AVA correct. Perhaps a bit "massaged" in the winery at this price point, but to good effect and with gentle hands. Enjoyed by all.
March 11, 2022 - Not super complex but quite enjoyable. Similarly to others here, I liked it more on day 2. Has probably hit its peak.
January 14, 2022 - Dark inky purple, espresso, dark fruits on the nose. Dark fruits, light spice, light oak, medium tannins with long legs.
December 19, 2021 - Still needs a longer decant or even better drink on day 2. The rough edges have smoothed out. Not super complex but not expected either. Coffee and some caramel on both the nose and palate. Good QPR.
September 21, 2021 - For the price a great day to day wine. Have bought two different years of this and all have been good.
I bit more fruit than I like but typical from Washington wines.
July 24, 2021 - Loads of vanilla and coffee on initial PNP. Best on day 2 as the flavors and overall wine becomes more integrated. Good food wine that paired well with grilled burgers.
