Full nose of blackberry and black currant with minty notes and sage. Plums, honeycomb, raspberry reduction and fir. Blueberry and blackberry on the palate with black currant and black olive both taste and texturally as it unfolds into cedar, dense chocolate truffle, and Turkish coffee. #SevenHills #CielduCheval #Washington #washingtonstate #washingtonwines #bordeauxblends #cabblends #SevenHillsWinery — 6 years ago
Big black currant and licorice intertwine with smoky blackberry and charcoal aromas. Pine nettle and blackberry reduction with eucalyptus, anise and cinnamon, smoldering cedar, gum Arabic and grape leaves. A little tightly wound initially, but sprung open into an array of dark fruits in a charred black basket. #columbiavalley #washingtoncab #singlevineyard #ConnerLee #ava #washingtonstate — 7 years ago
Nice #washingtonstate #syrah for the price. Give it a bit of time to let loose in the glass, some pepper, fruit-forward and just enough acidity and medium tannin structure. Good stuff for ~$12 at Total Wine. — 5 years ago
Delicious pour. Blackberry, plum, cherry, spicy. #washingtonstate — 6 years ago
Black fruit and Smokey meat dominated nose. Medium intensity and little complexity. Sweet and ripe palate. Tasty and straightforward. Loose structure. Hot finish. #horseheavenhills #cabernetsauvignon #doublecanyon #washingtonstate #ctbucklinwine — 7 years ago
I discovered #viogner 7 years ago on a great #washingtonstate camping trip with @momma_leslie. I've been chasing this golden dragon ever since. The bar was set by #kestrel and their #pureplatinum Most have fallen short. Not a common wine here, I usually jump at a chance to sample a Viognier. This one is a bit acidic and dry. Pear and apple notes. Drinkable for sure, but well, just not what I was looking for tonight. — 8 years ago
Very original #columbiavalley #washingtonstate wine. 85% #semillon and 15% #sauvingnonblanc medium lemon color, dry, rich texture, medium (+) aromas and flavors of lemon tart, ripe golden apples, hay and honey. High alcohol 14.5 but well integrated. Medium finish. Aging well for a 2016. — 5 years ago
