April 30, 2024 - Tasted after 90 minutes of air. Always one of Mike's best wines. The hauntingly beautiful Champoux nose. Just takes you to 11. Spicy red cherry fruit. Balanced by some dusty tannins. Very smooth and long. The finish goes on and on.

March 13, 2024 - My previous bottle was last June and my notes then are almost exactly the same for this bottle. The final wine of the evening at an Indian restaurant with my wine group. Opened, but not decanted for over 90 minutes before pouring. I may be shorting this a point, as I really enjoyed it. Packed with blue fruit and a long finish. It is still young. IMHO, out of all the other wineries that source grapes from the Champoux vineyard, this is the one that comes closest to Quilceda Creek style and quality.

November 30, 2023 - Tasty cabernet. Surprisingly less bold and dry than Januik Columbia Cab. Quite fruit forward.

August 18, 2023 - So reverse of the last review and sampled on day 3. Rocking to put it mildly. For those Silver Oak, Caymus and Opus One drinkers this is a less and better. Cassis, gravel, spice, rose petals, menthol, black licorice and earth. Super complex wine and just shows you can get a world class wine for under $50.

June 25, 2023 - Day 1: This would be $150 in Napa. Oak, vanilla, dark cherry, plum, dark chocolate, spice and minerals. What an amazing value here. 93 points
Day 2: Even better. Minerals, dark cherry, dark chocolate, spice, rose petals, perfume and mild oak. Wine is very balanced and medium plus finish. A true value. 94 points1 person found this helpful Comment
