March 27, 2011 - excellent. Drink now.
November 23, 2007 - Bri’s: For T-Day--Too big for this meal. Very oaky, low a’s. Need a pinot really, or better yet a white. But REALLY, just drink whatever on T-Day b/c eveyone drinks so much before hand. The pre-wines of Roderer Estate, Ch. St. Michelle Horse Heaven Sauv. Blanc, were good.
November 23, 2007 - Bri’s: For T-Day--2nd bottle.
November 18, 2007 - Anita: Very big, some nice tobacco notes, cassis, blkberry, pretty oaky, not much strucutre--low a’s in this and should be consumed/given away soon! Everyone loved it.
September 29, 2007 - Stark’s: Dark purple; blackberry with hints of blueberry, a bit sweet in the nose as well, with a touch of mintiness; very round and lush in the mouth, some sweet vanilla notes, along with black fruits are present, giving off a flavor of what I like to call blueberry pie. Very well made, lots of concentration, but a bit too sweet, and not enough structure.
February 18, 2005 - Heritage: 2nd taste day after: had a tiny bit of plastic fumes--noticed by a customer; not necessarily bad really. Fruit was not as vibrant. Must be careful with this one!
February 17, 2005 - Heritage: Pure blkberry, cassis, w/hint oak and shrooms in there; super silky, lighter bod than single vy; integrated t’s and a’s. Getting close to perfection.
