Buttery oak surprised us, didn't fit with szechuan food the way some white burgundies do. Pretty sweet, tart, fruity with full juicy mouthfeel. Best to pair with something else, or drink on its own. — 4 years ago

Tempranillo from north central Toro region in the Duero river valley. Area endures sweltering summers to produce rich and tannic wines with black fruit and scorched earthiness. "Crianza" classification ensures it is aged 24 months with at least 6 in the barrel. DOP tier is highest quality, with VP, DOQ, and DO like this particular wine. Spain's top variety. - Wine Folly. Bright nose of cherry, nice high acidity without being tart, brief tannin, medium to light body and stone like dusty bittersweet chocolate long finish. Shines through with the spaghetti sauce but doesn't get in the way. Decanted 50 minutes. — 5 years ago

Really excellent. Juicy, deep plum flavors accompanied by brown sugar/angel food. Nice tannin to balance that intense sweetness. Definitely best if committing to one glass, two max. — 5 years ago

2017. Nose is initially medicinal cherry, middle is hibiscus/rose, hint of cigarette at end. Nice light body, very delicate. Salty/briny initially and a hint of sweetness at the end for balance. Would pair with seafood, squash, or anything that won't disrupt the delicate flavors coming through. — 4 years ago

Started out crisp but became a little too sweet for my taste over time. Yellow apples, bit of caramel. Ate with cheese board. Perhaps better with something else. — 5 years ago

Actually E-6. Initially tight and acidic and once it opened caramel candied red apples. Nice medium body. Amazing with fish/pasta/asparagus. Such a rewarding wine! — 5 years ago

Incredibly well balanced wine. Nice tartness and bright fruitiness with peach. Nose is honeysuckle, pear, some melon, lactic vanilla. Oily mouth feel, not in a negative way, but finishes extremely clean and refreshing. — 5 years ago

Andrew will cellars vashon Washington 2016 cabernet. Deep purple color. Nose: Kalamata olives, raisin, stewed tomatoes and black currant, pepper, thyme. Taste: definitely needs an hour of decanting. Very tannic and a bit more dryness rather than the depth of berry and plum fruitiness I typically get on a cab. All high notes mostly. Sour cherry and sour plum. Could use a few years in the cellar. — 5 years ago
