Pseudo tasting note since I drank it a couple weeks ago: Nice plush red, probably had maybe another year in it although it has likely peaked for the 2006 vintage.

Tonight, once again I pop the cork on a bottle of A to Z Chemin de Terre ... sadly this is my last bottle of this totally delicious wine and I am so happy that I waited to give it one last go. The last time I opened a bottle was in August 2010, before that it was July 2010 and then at some earlier times (because at one point I had 5 bottles of this wine in my cellar). This really is a kitchen sink wine as it had about 7 or 8 different varieties in the blend, and some you never would have pegged to be grown in Oregon (Sangiovese anyone?). But now some 7 years from vintage date I can tell you the wine has held up extremely well and currently has smoky blackberry notes with cassis and black cherry, lots of fruit left in it for a wine of this age - it was smooth, elegant and really sexy in the glass. I know we had some people come over and I have to tell you I have no idea what they drank - I just know I enjoyed this.

Excellent blend! Dark berries, medium to bold flavor, the second half of the bottle was better by day 2. I will be buying this bottle again. It's a great price and a 2006

Needs to breathe. Fruity flavors emerge after breathing. Nice combination of grapes. Tough to tell which one emerges in your mouth.
