Walla Walla Valley, Oregon Washington

Cayuse Vineyards

Cailloux Vineyard Syrah 2017

Needs a bit of air upon opening to blow off the reductive edge.
Shows juicy, ripe, creamy blueberry with a bit of toasted and a fresh, mineral streak.
The magic happens on the palate - brilliant energy & depth. Great, pure, juicy, fresh blueberries with rocky minerality. Sappy, velvety tannins, vibrant acidity, so fresh.
This is brilliant stuff - complex, elegant, quite serious. And so drinkable. .

Quilceda Creek

CVR Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2021

Coravin first glass. Very intense, lot of oak right off the bat. Too much. Tried a 4 hr decant on second night, tannin much more mellow, but oak still not fully integrated. Quality but needs more time — 24 days ago

Figgins

Estate Red Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2009

This wine was beautiful. Had it with the first if the season stews and the pairing was spot on. With 14 years of aging it still showed lots of fruit but the finish was smooth, velvety and copasetic. Wish all my wines had this finish! — a month ago

(93-95; Drink 2027-37)

Delayed 2023 Thanksgiving with the extended family.

Much to look forward to here, all the B-F traits to love, strawberry, black raspberry, plum, white pepper, still bold and wanting several more years to really enter the zone for my palate.
The 2004 vintage is drinking perfectly now, a respectable presentation of the AVA. I can't wait for this to catch up.
