Selected for our New Year’s Eve wine from our cellar. Does more need to be said? Lush, rich, elegant and singing in six part harmony after just an hour in decanter. Alban produces some of the very best Rhône varietals in the US. Impeccable balance, perfect tannins and great finish. Just now into its drinking window, this should go for another 15 years.

Decanted for 3 hours and could have used more. Better still, 3 years of cellar time! Really good structure with potential to improve 5 or 6 points over 5-10years. Don’t yield to temptation as i did. Wait and you will be well rewarded.

Decanted for several hours. Not a big nose, but a really big wine. 98% Cab, 2% Petite Verdot. Only 1200 cases made. This is likely the best Washington Cab I have tasted. Nuff Said
