Pnp for my wifes Birthday. This is the usual cayuse combination of ripe fruit and delicious umami notes. Could list them all off but you know what you're getting into. The cork was perfect. Seemed very young and vibrant still. Ever so slight bitter note on the finish. I'm thinking another 10 years to go or more. These are such timeless wines. Bought two bottles each of 13 and 14 off of an acquaintance for the allocation list price a few years back. Sadly this was my last bottle of the 13s.

Its been almost 5 years since my last bottle of this wine. Not a lot of the rocks character here. No harsh edges. At this stage it is a very soft, easy drinker. Not to say the wine is in decline but Id say drink em up.

Double decant. Red fruits. Complex umami flavors. No rough edges. Very long finish. Positively delicious. Still it’s over priced at $120.

1/30/2018 5:59:00 PM - haha, yes they might be the last ones! I couldn't find them last year, the stores only had '13. Yes, $30 would be fine. I'll take as many as you are willing to part with. My email is john.theisen@ymail.com. If you give me your address I can come by on Saturday, Kathy and I are going into Woodinville for some wine tasting, or we could meet somewhere. Let me know!

I think I paid $12-14/bottle in 2016 from the winery, and would gladly give you $25/bottle now. What would you be willing to accept for it? I will be up in Marysville this weekend and could come by.
