August 14, 2015 - This wine was a couple years past, I think. Extensive bricking at the edge, but still deep color at core. Nose of cherry, chocolate, and a bit of prune (starting to madeirize?) Still decent fruit up front and a slight bit of tannin, but not a very long finish. Wish I had drunk it 2 years ago.

January 26, 2015 - Had this with a grilled ribeye and it was delicious. Still a lot of fruit up front and the tannins had integrated nicely. I have one more bottle and will drink it soon as this wine is not going to get any better.

January 15, 2011 - strong alcohol in the nose, but good red fruit smells. dark cherries, cow dung, and wild grasses on the palette with a lot of acidity and mild tannins. overall, very good and stereotypical for Walla Walla

August 21, 2010 - Shows the classic Washington State characteristic of tasty crushed blueberries mixed in with a just a touch of spicy oak. Tannins are resolved nicely, putting this wine in a sweet spot of enjoyability right now. Very nice.

October 28, 2008 - The plushness and concentration that is a hallmark for SV IMO is just gone after about 3yrs from my experance. That being said I really liked the acids, smoke, lots of spices, w/some green olives. It's really morphed into a totally different wine then I like and expect from SV but if you get past this it was very nice
