8.8

90% Cabernet Sauvignon blend from the Columbia Valley (WA state), obvious creamy new oak aromas and flavors up front, this is almost sweet, and easy to drink/sip, but the new oak is WAY too dominant for my taste, decent, nothing more!?!? — a day ago

9.2

Ripe mountain fruit with a kiss of oak that is still quite tight and structured, very well-balanced, long, lingering finish, best yet of the 3 bottles we’ve opened, I should have let this slumber another 35 years at least!! — a day ago

I generally like Pinot Bianco from Northern Italy better than Pinot Blanc from anywhere else. It really shines there.

@Tom Casagrande, I continue to be very impressed with Italian whites, which I’d generally ignored until the past 3-5 years!
