As the biggest promoter of the wines of Result of a Crush in the world you think they would send me a free sample. NO. Hopefully when I visit them this summer they hook me up with something. Anyway will still promote them either way. Here are 2 new wines I have not tasted and got the shipment on Monday so could not wait to sample them.
- 2021 Result of a Crush Claret – USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Walla Walla Valley (3/21/2024)
Day 2: Natural cork. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot & 20% Cabernet Franc. This was not ready on day 1 and another reason everyone on young wines should be trying these on day 2 and 3. Much better with minerals, rust, blueberries, wood, spices and dark chocolate. Very complex wine and I enjoy this more than the Classic and it is over half the price. 92 points
Day 3: Even better and this is a bit smoother on day 3 and I like it a bit better. Dark chocolate, cherry, blueberries, wood, spices, minerals, dust and chalk. Medium plus finish and nice acidity. A well-made effort. 93 points
Recommendation: If you want the best value in the wine world for under $30 get on the Result of a Crush 12 bottle club. It is the only club I am a member of. (93 points) - 2020 Result of a Crush Syrah The Unnamed Series – USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Walla Walla Valley (3/19/2024)
Day 2: This is a big style wine with smoked meats, funk, coffee beans, blueberries, earth, spices and black olives. Not getting smoke taint with the Result wines from 2020. This is highly recommended and a real bargain. Not at the level of the 2021 or 2017 but solid. 92 points
Day 3: Not as intense as day 1 and 2 but still solid with black olives, earth, smoked meats, tar, spice and a hint of smoke. Medium plus finish. 90 points
Recommendation: This one will age but not to the degree of the 17 or 21. Drink now to 2027. (92 points)
