8.9

2005 vintage. In a weird place. Opened two hours prior and not showing any acidity/tannins and only primary fruit (predominant dark plum flesh-not skin). Acidity/tannins started to circle back around 1.5 hours later after initially tasting. 50/50 a day two wine or a disappointment. Anyone’s guess at this point. 11.28.25. — 2 days ago

2024 vintage. Fairly fruity for the area. Pleasant drinker as an intro into the SRH AVA. Spend another $10-$20 to really go places. 11.21.25. — 8 days ago

9.5

2018 vintage. Last tasted 12.15.23 (9.5), 11.11.23 (9.4), 4.26.23 (9.5) and 3.16.22 (9.3). Decanted with a trace of sed. Now medium body after losing a bit of weight. Sultry nose. Still iron, earth, blood, cinnamon, dark plum and dark cherry waving the flavor banner high. Excellent length of finish. 11.21.25. — 9 days ago

2009 vintage. Completely unfamiliar with this producer (which I love new producers). Opened but not decanted. Age appropriate color. Variety of tea scents in the nose muddled with a modicum of drought dirt/earth. Light body. Tasted 20 minutes and 1.5 hours after opening. Total transference of the nose into the flavor profile-no surprises. Wine seemed to gain more strength/concentration of finish and dirtied up a tad but not more body or complexities. Doubtful another hour open/more air would have unlocked an achievement or improved the standing in the community. Will say it was a pleasure tasting a Vosne-Romanée vineyard with some age on it that was on the lighter side of the ledger vs the usual super intense. 11.28.25. — 2 days ago

9.2

2019 vintage. Decanted and tasted after one hour. Medium body. Focused and noteworthy mineral/earth finish but otherwise, forgettable…especially for the ca$hi$h. Too much oak influence on the upper 40. Not buying. 11.22.25. — 8 days ago

9.1

2019 vintage. Decanted but should have done so on Monday (it’s Friday!!!!). Tannins for days with only a slight amount of rich fruit on the finish. 11.21.25. — 9 days ago

9.1

1990 vintage. Last tasted slightly over 3 years ago (8.7). Solid fill and cork. Not decanted. Tasted after two hours. A curious, fecal nose that never dissipated but nose didn’t invade the flavors that were earthy and spicy. This was immeasurably improved over the last encounter. Based on this visit, could go another 2-3 years at this level. 11.21.25. — 9 days ago

8.8

2022 vintage. Last tasted 5.5.25 (8.8). Still a Trader Joe's selection and still $8.99 a bottle. Nose holds more promise than the flavors but picked up a case to have laying around for porch pounding, day drinking, impromptu interactions and casual consumption. Regrets less than zero. 11.24.25. — 6 days ago

9.3

2022 vintage. Last tasted 3.19.25 (9.3). Medium-heavy body with chocolate covered raspberry, blackberry, strawberry and big cracked black pepper. Decant/open 2 hours in advance of consumption if you can. 11.22.25. — 8 days ago

9.5

1990 vintage. Last tasted 11.19.25 (9.6)…yes…two days ago! Someone’s gotta do the dirty work. Comparable experiences with the cork, fill and flavors from the 11.19.25 visit. Not decanted. Tasted one and two hours after opening. After one hour open (not decanted)...a 9.4. two hours...a 9.5. Perhaps decanted, surmise it could have touched 9.6 but we'll never know. This specimen slightly more advanced but still ridiculously phenomenal. 11.21.25. — 9 days ago
