Big out of the gate with juicy blackberries, cherries, dates and smoke. A bitterness arises with some thick but smooth tannins that carry through with a final touch of acid to the finish. — 7 months ago

Big fan of this. A blend of 4 Red Mountain vineyards Klispun, Upchurch, Grand Ciel, and Ciel du Cheval. Pretty much 1/4 each. Moderate fruit with a nice nutty inkiness. Already smooth. — 7 years ago

The 2007 evolved into an excellent old, world Red Mountain special wine. This was cellared a really long time but maintains the finish and flavor Chris Upchurch and the Dellile team intended. — 8 years ago

Great blend of Red Mountain grapes by Chris Upchurch and he Delille crew. The 2009 AIX is smooth and delicious Because this is a Syrah-Cab-Mouvadre blend, there’s deep raspberry, anise, espresso and slight oak flavors. Great wine with a beef dinner. — 6 years ago

2007 was perhaps the best year if many great WA vintages. ZZ Wei did a nice painting of Red Mountain for this wine. This was an early Chris Upchurch-made wine. — 7 years ago
