  July 31, 2021 - Ok, so now this is starting to be over the hill. Having a Columbia Valley APA label, the grapes can be from almost anywhere in WA and purchased in bulk. No trace of any fruit remains. The body of the wine is still impressive, but the decline has started. And I had cellared this perfectly. EDIT: somewhat better next day, but still certainly past the peak.

  January 8, 2021 - Quite good, though obviously.not as good as the Estate one. Drinking it just a tad bit over aged so the fruits are weaker but the acidicity and tannins more pronounced. Still lovely.

  November 2, 2019 - Djupröd. Viol, tobak, tallskog. Rak mörk frukt, mjukt långt slut. Redo att drickas.
  The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle.

  April 22, 2019 - True to Pacific Northwest versions of the variety, a more angular and aggressive effort that lines up squarely with Cab. Bitter/tart fruit, some char, a little veggie, herbal notes...quite tannic and lengthy. Interesting and fairly complex, if slightly disjointed. But not unlikeable to my taste. Best with several hours of decanting.

  September 1, 2018 - tart cherry and ripe plum with a luscious mouthfeel while still being dry. notes of cocoa and combined with medium grained tannins. Nice
