Antolin Cellars
Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Lovely dark maroon color. Smells like wet steppe and berry cobblers. Hint of moss. Flavors are bright and juicy. Chewy yet fresh and balanced. This is excellent WA Cab Sauv. Has a bounce and zip with plenty of depth and razzamatazz. Still age-ble eight years in too. — 6 days ago

Le Bone
This is called Le Bone. Cab Sauv, Malbec and Caménère. It’s lighter in color. Smells nice. Woodsy and fruity. Flavors are good. A bit lighter and simpler than the Syrah I had. Still a lovely WA red. Might need to drink up this vintage sooner than later. — 13 days ago
Terra Blanca
Arch Terrace Estate Vineyard Merlot 2019

Erath
Oregon Pinot Noir 2022
This light colored easy drinker is a decent OR Pinot. Has some classic New World Pinot vibes. It’s a hint thin. — 8 days ago
Viñedos Marchigüe
Reserva Santa Marta Red Blend 2025
Another vintage. This one is a bit better than some others. Still has a bit too much fruit and oak in the mix. It’s a chain-sit-down restaurant wine. — 5 days ago
Antolin Cellars
Estate Carmalady Carménère Malbec 2019
This one is labeled ‘Carmalady’, it’s 52% Carménère and 49% Malbec. It’s dark colored, but not quite a dark as I expected. Aroma has that definite tobacco scent. Berries too. Dark colored berries. Flavors are hearty and dense. Plenty of smoke. Acids are in the mix as well. It’s a fairly easy drinker considering the pedigree. But it’s a hint less complex than I’d expect. This is good stuff, just not extra. — 8 days ago
Westwood Family Cellars
Ella's Vin de Granit Grenache Syrah 2013
It’s more washed out and a hint cooked now. Still has some decent ‘old’-‘aged’ red wine vibes. Libraries and attics are coming to mind. It’s granit ground down now… — 8 days ago
Tree Kilpatrick
The Pinot was pretty interesting and had some interesting things going on. — a day ago
