Exceptional. Nice minerality, perfect amount if tannins. Really well balanced — 7 years ago
A second tier wine from the esteemed Corliss Estates in Walla Walla this wine was suggested by my wine consultant. She said "forget the funky label this stuff is really good." was she right. It has a medium to full body, firm tannins with hints of black berries, cigar box and dark chocolate. On the 4th of July how can I taste anything but a big American red. Happy 4th to all my American friends from BC. Enjoy 🇺🇸 — 8 years ago
This is the 2008 Corliss Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon we had on a special occasion with close friends. This is from Walla Walla, Washington made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, black currant, licorice, smokey campfire, vanilla, leather, black pepper, cocoa and dark earth.
On the palate there is black cherry, blackberry, spice, licorice, leather, violets, coffee, graphite and dark rich earth.
This wine is full bodied and well balanced with a silky smooth mouthfeel medium + to high acidity and medium + fine supple tannins that moves seamlessly into a long dark fruit graphite finish. An outstanding wine at 14 years of age and has many years to continue to develop. Have a great weekend and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 2 years ago

Mocha-tinged blackberries, earth tones, savory herbs and exotic spice form a dark and inward bouquet as the 2016 Red Wine evolves in the glass. Packed full of crisp red and black fruits, there’s a lift and vibrancy here that's impossible to ignore, all guided by mineral-tinged acidity. Hauntingly dark florals and nuances of chalk dust linger. The 2016 finishes with crystalline tannins that add a crunchy sensation throughout. This is the first year that the Red Wine was made from all estate fruit. It's a beautiful vintage of this cuvée in the making. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2024)
