Rattlesnake Hills, Columbia Valley

Savage Grace

Copeland Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2020

Excellent clarity, moderate pigment extraction, ruby red with purple tinge. Raspberry and white pepper aromas, raspberry, white pepper and black tea flavors, as promised on back label. Lots of loose seedy tannins on finish with a kids’ grape fruit juice aftertaste. Needs time to open. After an hour, tart, moderate astringency. After three hours, the raspberry and white pepper flavors were fully resolved, but the skin tannins were still largely expressive with all their astringency. Decant even longer! — 8 hours ago

Wow, very impressed. Just shy of 20 years old. A Washington state cab. Tannins and fruits were still in harmony. Drank with my good friend Jim and my family. A nice surprise treat from the cellar — 5 months ago

Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2014

Traditional Bordeaux-Style blend. Very dark ruby color with slight hints of purple. Savory aromas of earth, baking spices, herbs and black cherries. Ripe plum and black cherry flavors with additional hints of baking spices, tobacco and dried herbs. Pleasant creamy vanilla oak note on the long finish. Dusty tannins and well balanced. Opulent, complex and still quite fresh for a ten year old wine. — 7 months ago

Columbia Valley Dry Rosé Blend 2023

Good fruit, strawberry, touch of lemon, peach and cream (?), good acid but not at all tart, honeydew, citric and malic notes on finish. Dry but not bone dry. Complex but missing savory and mineral notes from previous vintages, oh well, drinkable enough why wish for the moon? — 3 months ago
