Red Deer Station

The Barns at Hamilton Station

Meritage 2017

Fantastic at eight years old! Vibrant dark/red fruit… a touch of thyme and a pinch of rosemary. Michael Shaps built this and you can tell. Fantastic attack (cherry sweetness) and the mid palate is just a tango of balance (slightly stewed fruit and herbs)…
Medium finish but delightful in staying inside the boundaries for what this wine is meant to do

Quite dark color still at age 6, love the lift the Viognier provides, lovely Shiraz but more focused on finesse than power, which is wonderful, medium-long finish, very good! — 5 months ago

One of the pleasures of your reviews is the short but always interesting history of the vineyard, company or person behind the wine and bottle.

Somewhat muted nose full of baking spices. Beautiful flavors of cranberry, ginger, milling spices, and forest floor that just goes on and on. — 5 years ago

Dumas Station

Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Intriguing & unique Cab. Spicy red fruit in the nose & through the palate. This yields some smoky/spicy notes on the mid palate & through the finish. Plenty of tannic structure persisting here. Under appreciated producer outside of Washington. Very nice bottle of Cabernet. — 6 years ago
