21 Grams Vertical: 2005-2016. (Home, Portland OR): 21 Grams Vertical: 2005-2016. Someone at the party called this wine "caramelly" and I think it really hits in this case. Red and black berries, caramel-cola flavors and nice acidity. This was very well-rounded and drinking great. I think it'll continue to show well for a number of years.

Very different than the last bottle I opened 7 years ago, but still not a great wine. Lots of crunchy red fruits, and some good depth that raised the score above 90.

Not all that. I expected more and it didn't deliver. Didn't even finish the bottle, what a shame. It felt on the thin side and nothing above an average bottle of wine. Disappointed in this one.

Decanted and enjoyed with grilled fajitas at a family birthday celebration. Clear, deep ruby showing no signs of bricking or age. Aromatic violet florals, cherries, blackberries, mixed currant, baking spice, dark chocolate, and tobacco. Balanced flavors and a mellow, silky mouthfeel, accentuating a wide array complex and layered flavors. Well integrated structure, supporting an exquisite finish. Seems like this can go another 3-5 years.

(21 Grams Red Wine Columbia Valley) All about elegance, this is perhaps my favorite of the releases from this winery. It shows notes of cherry, olive, and dried herbs. The palate has incredible grace and texture, mouthwatering acidity, and a finish that stretches out for more than a minute
