The Archimage Columbia Valley Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Cab Franc 49%, Merlot 48%, Cabernet 3%. Good blend. I have been consistently impressed by this producer and how the wines age. This is tasting at the right moment. Baked blackberry, black pepper, sour cherry. It’s good, but drink now. — 6 months ago

Cigar Box

Old Vine Hand Harvested Pinot Noir 2020

Clear, medium ruby in color with a garnet rim; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of cherries, hibiscus, and wood smoke; on the palate, it's dry with medium acidity, low tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of raspberries, dried leaves, and cranberries with a long finish. This wine is complex and intense. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. — 5 months ago

The Spellbinder Red Blend 2017

These are crafted with such elegance.

Straw berries and slight Smokey tones, a nice nose.
After. 4 hour decant, this is a medium bodied Claret, with a elegant fruit, berry and pit. Solid backbone, small tannins, yet enough to complete this. The acidity straightforward, and long.

Visited the winery in Walla Walla and this wine is a winner with full strawberry aromatics and solid acidity. Can use more time in the bottle but is hard to resist drinking now. Well made from quality fruit. — 8 years ago

McGuigan

Hand Made Langhorne Creek Shiraz 2017

Very nice nose, deep flavours of chocolate and a little bit of raspberry go well together.
This is a big flavoured wine with both the acid and tannin to let it last much longer, and thus will cellar for more years.
