it saw some whole clusters in the fermentation and spent 22 months in close to equal parts new and used French oak
seven of which are farmed biodynamically and certified organic
This muscular and overtly robust effort is definitely a big wine and one that should see its 50th birthday in fine form and for my taste
the 2015 Madrona Ranch is more elegant and finesse-driven than the Cappella

Cayuse, Walla Walla Valley, En Chamberlin Vineyard, Impulsivo Tempranillo 2010 LOIRE LUXE it saw some whole clusters97 points Wine Advocate The 2010 Impulsivo showed similar to my review in 2013, with lots of cedar, spice box, dried rose petal and sweet cassis and blackberry fruit. Full bodied, ripe and concentrated, it never seems over the top, has building tannin and a fresh, focused feel that carries through the finish. Its a brilliantly balanced 2010 that will have 20 25 years of overall longevity. (JD)(6 2015) 95 points James Suckling Rounded aromas of
