Had a 5 year vertical of Harrison Hill (2007-2011). Bottles went trhrough smoke from a a house fire and a summer in a warm garage after the fire. Wine was still tasting great. Tannins still present, but balanced perfectly. Should be great for 2-3 more years before it heads down.

Absolutely stunning. Depth of flavor was amazing, like sliding down into an endless pit of scrumptious dark fruit. saddle leather and carbon complemented the fruit, integrated tannins and acidity to keep it all firmly held together.

This bottle was drinking very nicely with acids, tannins and fruit beautifully integrated. However air is not kind and a coravin of vacuvining the bottle should be done. Left alone in the glass for a while an unpleasant acid appears. I would strongly recommend drinking any remaining bottles soon

(DeLille Cellars Harrison Hill Yakima Valley) An appealing nose marked by cherries, red vines, an undercurrent of toasty oak, and light herbal notes. Elegantly structured on the palate with restrained but richly textured fruit wrapped in silky oak. Beautifully understated. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot. Aged in 100% new French oak. 14.9% alcohol. 500 cases produced. Give three plus years or extensive decanting.

Drink now or forever hold your peace…or a bottle in decline. Drinking well now but can tell she’s getting tired

Favorite of the night, but like all, at the ragged edge. Darker fruit, tannins and acids not balanced, but seemed to work. Drink now.
