Has this as part of a WA State Blend night with my wine group. Opened but not decanted for over 45 minutes before pouring. A nice Merlot dominated wine. I'm not sure how much longer it will last. This was actually mixed in with a few 2009s that I had purchased.

Estate grown,dark opaque color, plumy-graphite nose, complex blended palate of plum, dark fruit, earth, well balanced, full body, integrated tannins, smooth texture, long finish, 14.4% alc. DECANT 1-2 hours, improved second night. Has life ahead for at least 3- 5 years.

PnP, double decant for 1 hour. Clear, deep red/purple. Big wonderful nose. Med-full body, perfect drinking window with ideal balance and integration. Tannin's resolved, long finish. Always like this label and again didn't disappoint. Delicious and easy drinking. Nothing off. $39

Nine years since bottling, smooth, mellow and satisfying. Drinking this reminded of a Dick Francis novel about a fictional character who bought great wines from outstanding vintages and uncorked them to enjoy, much to the horror of critics who considered such wines sacrosanct, as if enjoying them wasn't the point. Uriah is why I drink wine. Solid testament to the high quality of wine produced in Walla Walla, Washington which happens to be a really neat town. Visit Walla Walla. Visit Spring Valley Vineyards, or just buy their wine. Keep up the good work! Big fan!
