Brick in colour, fruit was still strong and it has been awhile but this wine gave me a very strong sense of place. Maybe it was nostalgia but I would have known it was Walla Walla blind folded.

have been holding on to this one for a while. It was first stored in a 50 bottle chiller before it was removed and stored in a cellar around 60 degrees. This one is definitely not too far over the hill. Maybe a year or so. That being said, with proper storage I see this one could probably go another five to seven years. Lots of black cherry on the front. Medium-plus bodied. The finish of this wine is quite enjoyable with a little sweet cedar tannin. This wins the award of wine of the day when considering wines that I thought were completely done. The 2007 Silver Oak Alexander valley beat it out by at least two to 3 points.

Outstanding. Decanted for about an hour before the first taste. Very peppery, nice texture and very smooth.
