cooking School and Washington Wines (Loretta Paganini School fo Cooking): This is in a very good spot right now. Purple core, ruby at the rim. The nose is dusty with cassis and slight cigar box notes. On the palate, there is a nice complexity here. Good mouth feel. Nice balance. Long finish. No hurry, but I am not sure this gets better.

Checking in on one of my perennial favorites. It's showing well, however took a while to develop, and I think I might wait a while on the rest of ours.

very nice - bummer it was only a half bottle. Medium bouquet, typical Sineann ripe fruit, decent backbone and reasonably balanced. Despite alcohol I didn't think it was hot. Great with filet and plain steamed veggies.

Fantastic blueberry fruit, with fine tannin. There is an almost Rutherfordesque dustiness to the texture.

Very well balanced between the fruit, acidity, oak and tannins. Well made. This wine never disappoints!
