    Anyone recently tried an older vintage of Cascade the Vine? I have two 2010 bottles and I wanted to know how they were holding up...

    Additionally, how many times has the Vine been bottled? Just 2010 and 2012?

    I've had the '10 and '12 and have to say it is great with a little time on it. For me it gets a little dryer and the grape starts to shine. Reminds me a lot of grape big league chew.

    I had a bottle of the '10 a few months back and thought pretty much the same thing. I also found the new batch to be funkier on the nose, though I'm not sure if that's a function of age or if the new batch is actually funkier. I'm leaning towards the latter.

    Was definitely in bottles in spring 2009, not sure if any earlier.

    I had what I think was an '08 Vine at a recent tasting. Pretty good and dry, but a bit over the hill.
