I don’t have any chocolate right now and I’m really upset I don’t as this is the PERFECT wine for chocolate. But luckily I am allowing myself to have chocolate on Sunday and this will last till then. Nose is crazy. Vivid raisins, dark black fruits, spice, insane depth. Iodine, saline aspects as well. Wild berries. Insane minerality and spice. Almost smells like a hint of Chinato. So fragrant, so intense. Only like this because Passito Sagrantino is the fucking bomb. Palate is total OMG mindfuck. So rich, so decadent yet so FRESH as the acid and minerality give this insane freshness. Such purity and elegance. So so long. This is a freak show. Finishes dry and minerally with insane depth and length. Just awesome. Ageless wine. Just sick. Best red desert wine in the world. So so so so long. Hard to describe. One needs to taste. — 16 days ago

Stunning stuff! Fruit from Red Mountain delivers a deep and intense, yet pure and elegant, wine. Strong aromas of blackberry and ripe black cherry. On the palate, dense layers of cassis, black fruit, elegant spice, and cedar oak, all perfectly balanced. I really need to drink more Washington state cabernet. 2016 vintage on May 13, 2020 — 2 months ago

Such a sexy nose, dominated by strawberries and cola. Palate is pristine, linear and laser-focused. Tannins are integrated, while the acid profile is somewhat relaxed. Mineral-driven mid palate, with good weight and a lithe, strawberry fruit presentation. Very impressive for its stature and elegance. — 12 days ago

Amazing garnet in colour with aromatic sweet cherry & herbs on the nose with a touch of roast. Medium bodied on the palate with bright acidity and a nice, juicy finish with just the amount of tannins and fruity sweetness that make you want to take another sip. Highly drinkable stuff! — a month ago
