From steep sloping Hidden Ridge Vineyard. Mostly Cabernet with Petite Verdot (2.5%) blended in. Dark ruby color. Aromas of dark bramble berry fruit with hints of coffee, lavender and sweet spices. The expressive palate is full of black berry/plum and blueberry fruit with additional notes of tobacco, black tea, and dark coffee. Pleasant sweet spicy/oaky and very long finish. Dense, complex, rich and extremely well balanced. Part of the North Shore House (Paired with a fig dessert) Wine Pairing Dinner on March 9, 2024. β 2 months ago
This was opened a few days back the 2013 Tamarack Cellars Wahluke Slope Cabernet Franc from Walla Walla, Washington.
On the nose is black cherry, blackberry, red plum, green bell pepper, herbaceous and wet gravel.
On the palate is raspberries, strawberry, red plum, black currant, green bell pepper, milk chocolate, fall leaves and crushed gravel.
This wine is medium to full bodied with medium + acidity and medium + firm grippy tannins that gives you a long red fruit crushed gravel finish. This weekend try and do something special with a friend or loved one. Enjoy some wine and some good food and stay healthy and safe. Nostrovia! π·π·π·π· β 6 months ago

Released 3/24, the β22 North Slope Pinot is a clear cherry color with a vibrant nose of raspberry. Itβs smooth and elegant with red fruit notes galore, a nice structuring acidity and a hint of smoke on the finish. One of the better North Slopes in recent memory. β 5 days ago
Sweet herbs, tobacco and black olive give way to mentholated blackberry as the 2022 Primitivo Porcospino opens in the glass. Creamy and round, with balancing acidity and depths of ripe dark fruit, the 2022 finishes long and pleasantly chewy with a bitter twang and tart wild berry thrust. $25.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous March 2024) β 2 months ago

Exquisite gold color. Insane nose! Minerals, beeswax, and subtle honey. Same on the palate. Oily, dense texture, which I love. This is right in my wheelhouse! I could swirl this in my mouth all night! β 3 days ago
