Big, round and lush, this is the fourth vintage for this wine, one of the best Chardonnays in Washington state. In this vintage it did not go through full malolactic, leaving a nice underlying acidit…

A powerful wine, offering a dark, textured view of Clos de Vougeot. It is muscular, packed with ripe fruit and a layer of spice and wood. Black plums and prunes provide extra, delicious flavors.

Relatively light and fruity with tight tannins. The wine has fresh acidity that still dominates the texture. There is a delicious spicy element that edges around the tannic core. It seems firm, not y…

A blend of Shiraz from Eden Valley and the valley floor, this is both amply endowed and impressively complex. The creamy purée of raspberries is dusted with peppery spice and cocoa, leaving a savory…

A beautiful combination of ripe, tropical fruits with flint, honey and smoke. There is a great steely backbone here, offering a linear character as well as elegant, ageworthy fruit.

A lush mouthful of nuanced fruit, this single-vineyard Viognier is loaded with a rich mix of peach, apricot, papaya and guava fruit. Laced into the hefty fruit core are baking spices and cocoa powder…

Incredibly ripe and sweet apricots, candied orange peel, a touch of fresh spearmint and fresh lemon zest all abound on the nose, and are just the first expressions. Balm-like sweetness and clouds of…

This is a deliciously rich Riesling that's so ripe and full in the mouth, but dry in style. It has swathes of fruitiness, a sense of power and intense acidity. For such a complex wine it is surprisin…

92-94 Very rich in character. The sweetness is there, but masked by the firm structure, the almost tannic texture. Great concentration.

92-94 Ripe, juicy aromas, a wine that then offers sweet fruit, great flavors, a ripe wine with blackberry flavors and balanced tannins.

92-94 Sweet and juicy, a wine that has the potential to be delicious. The tannins are certainly prominent, although with good sweetness. Finally very structured.

92-94 Powerful, very juicy in style, with toasty new wood flavors mingling with the the very ripe fruits. The wine has a bitter, extracted edge that will probably soften with further wood aging.

92-94 New, polished wood aromas lead to a wine that has a smooth balance between toast, sweet fruits and a velvet-textured acidity. Delicious.

92-94 Smoky wine, dominated by its dry tannins, seemingly extracted. The wine certainly has weight and power, but the dryness is a major element at this stage. It will need serious aging time.

92-94 There is power and richness here, the wine has weight, delicious ripe fruits and a smooth texture. Under that surface is the powerful, dense texture.
