  March 7, 2017 - From a magnum. Hanging tough and drinking at peak. A little heavy and something short of fresh. Drink soon.

  October 4, 2014 - Different than few years ago. Less red fruit and tannin. Clearer now, resolved and sweet fruit, some brown sugar or sweet date notes. A little bit of green fern and moss in the nose which is pleasant. Raspberry or strawberry jam fruit picking up over light damp earth, sweet finish. Heat not so bad, but serve cooler to mitigate. The acidity and tannin are not very prominent. For food it needs something simpler and gentler, or drink on its own. It worked with brie. Could see it w simple white chicken or salmon with a glaze. Last bottle. If I had another, I’d let it evolve further. Good quaff now though.

  October 2, 2013 - After the vertical a few months ago, I pulled my last bottle of 2006 Dundee Hills out of a box in the back of the cellar to consume as soon as possible. This bottle performed very well. The vertical tasting really showed off this wine's imperfections, however consumed on it's own they are not so apparent. The Dundee Hills terroir shows through initially while the fruit is on the dark, rich, and jammy side. Tannins are very light and the acidity is just enough. There is some alcohol on the finish like previously mentioned. Better on it's own then with food due to the alcohol. Drinking a bit past prime in my opinion, but still holding tough. Consumed over two days, good as both a PnP and on day 2.
