Still going strong, graphite and raspberry compote. Oak completely integrated, at half-life. Enjoy it, real treat, reminder of a different time in Walla Walla.

Wow-- terrific wine! Deep inky big berry wine-- velvety, smooth, beautiful lingering finish. All around amazing bottle from start to finish. For the price, this is without a doubt one of the best wines I've had. Outstanding!!

Drinking very well now. Elegant and smooth, yet has the power if 15% ABV. This greatly improved over time -- best with a 2 hr+ decant and consumed chiller. Bright Red fruit, pepper/spice, bramble. Well integrated tannins and acid to balance -- this is in a great place now. Much better than the 2010 consumed at 7 years age. Me - 93, Wife - 92

Fruit forward, with power and backbone. A bit 'hot' and somewhat acidic, but still very nice. Balance improved after about an hour unwinding in the glass.

This wine is drinking beautifully now. Complex but smooth; jammy; lovely from start to finish. Will be sad to see this last bottle go!
