Had this with a nice, rare, mesquite-charcoal grilled hangar steak and it was a perfect accompaniment. The nose is classic Walla Walla (but not funky enough for the Rocks, which this is not): smoky campfire embers, lots of dusty gravelly scents, a little hint of roasted, aged meat. So savory on the palate, coating the mouth with dusty flavors (some dark, oozy berries too). There’s plenty of soft tannin to ensure a few years aging. Lowish acids, typical for Walla Walla basaltic terroir. I have a soft spot for Walla Walla, admittedly. — 3 days ago

I really love this wine, and bought several bottles after a SA wine tasting. Unfortunately I didn’t keep good notes, but I remember it being easy drinking and a good pairing with food or alone. — 7 years ago

Pleasant and smooth with light red meat dishes Spicy food will spoil the flavours. Reminds me of fynbos early Karoo morning. Magic — 8 years ago

Directly from South Africa from Julia. Deep kitsch cherry fruit with a grilled meat aroma. Nothing delicate here. Plums 5 spice, hint of orange. Will stand up to big meats. — 3 months ago

Förtrollande färg. Honung, saffran, torkade kryddor, nektarin och lite kex. Angränsar halvtorr men nog den ganska låga syran som lurar än. Oavsett, väldigt gott. — 8 years ago

An explosion of apricot flavor. Round and smooth, heavy weight, with sufficient but not overt acidity. A beautiful sweet wine. — a month ago

Last vintage from Bressler, grapes going to Anomaly vineyards now. Was on the customer list at the start for a few years and still have 01 and 02 (popped an 02 a year ago and it was great) in the cellar. Grabbed some 2014s at a great price. For Napa, Bressler was always worth seeking...premium valley floor fruit, Mia Klein winemaker, and under $100 release price.

1 hour decant (little sediment). A splended inky dark magenta color. On the nose: floral, sandlewood, black cherry and plum, cedar, vanilla marshmallows. Taste: Elegant and smooth, soft tannins with blackberry, blueberry, chocolate, with a spicy cedar medium plus finish....ready to go another 15 years. — 6 years ago
