Nine year old Brunello. Vibrant, dusty dark red fruit on the palate. Nice umami notes on the background. But that’s about it. Limited layers, complexity or finish. Hmm. 🧐 — 20 days ago
We visited there in the early summer of 2015 and now we got to try the fruits of their labor in the vineyard we witnessed at that time. A bio-dynamic vineyard with horse and plow 😁. Their wines are fantastic. This wine was richer in fruit and more expressive than perhaps characteristic for the Pauillac region. But the layers of earth infused flavors and the most subtle hint of ‘barnyard’ made it a sensation. Topped off with a grippy finish keeping the flavors lingering in your throat. www.spokenwines.com. — a month ago
Wonderful Bordeaux blend from Saint-Julien. Super dry dark blue fruit seamlessly integrated with aged wood notes of dark chocolate, raw tobacco and leather (remember chewing on this as a kid 😁) and smooth rounded tannins. A great wine to just sip, reminisce and… wondering where the oldest vineyard in the world might be? You want to know?

Nice balanced flavorful Bordeaux. Dark fruit with earthy mineral notes. Missing a lingering grippy finish. — 20 days ago
Another day, another wine… from Garrison Creek. Much better experience this time with this rich, opulent Syrah! Dark black, spiced fruit beautifully ingrained with polished, lingering tannins that settle in a grippy, intense finish. — a month ago
The best of the best. Nuanced, precise and so delicately delicious. Fresh and bright with precisely served portions of dark cherry and cassis, leather drenched in cuban tobacco and edged in uplifting minerality. Needless to say to say, this bottle went way too fast. — 2 months ago
Classic cool climate Syrah. Vibrant, elegant dark red and blue fruit with beautiful forest floor, mineral, earthy under notes infused with fine polished soft tannins guiding you to a soft lingering finish. — 19 days ago
Balanced but single note. Vibrant blue fruit up front. Limited depth and finish for a 9 year old wine. — 25 days ago
Beautiful label! Had this one for several years now in our cellar and as we are planning to go back to Walla Walla and visit Garrison Creek, this be a good opportunity to taste the 2015 Cab. And… hmmm, a bit disappointed. A bit off balance with strong stringent, Rhubarb like flavors and slight green undernotes. Finish also a little unsettling. By no means a bad wine but had expected more. — a month ago

Yum! All I can say. Delicious premier cru from my favorite region in Burgundy. Earthy, mineral, super balanced. Ever lasting finish. Yep, got to drink those wines once in a while. Feel so blessed that I can. 🙏🙏 — 19 hours ago
