August 20, 2023 - Very nice cab
January 23, 2023 - dark red. Very rich and melllow. Prunes, red fruit. full bodied. medium long.
December 3, 2021 - Almost confused. Technically conc med+, acid med+, tannin med+ (barely). But the fruit is just so ripe and sweet and it is all so much in ur face that it is hard to descern the structure. After 3hrs it started to resemble cab sauv., slightly. But no, this is not my style.
October 17, 2021 - Good enough.
June 12, 2021 - Far from their top end cabs. The Columbia Valley designation tells that the grapes are pretty much from anywhere in the WA state. Subtle and a little weak. Hardly any tannins. But has that appealing WA state cab fruitiness. Nothing special at all
April 15, 2021 - flawed
October 24, 2020 - Opened for the Buckeyes return. Excellent wine.
April 26, 2020 - Straw and maybe hints of vanilla on the nose. Tannins very evident; mid-palate and a bit up front with red fruit. A light attack but the fruit then starts coming into its own. Will pair with a Mediterranean dish...... Rikki on first sip said it had the heat / warmth she enjoys. Maybe just a bit over the top for the dish not overpowering where it stole the show. The olives and rich EVOO did it's job to balance it to a degree.
March 20, 2020 - Very smooth rich complex
February 23, 2020 - From Magnum.
Lots of vanilla. A little Cabernet character in there if you look hard enough. Inoffensive, but lacks charm and comes across as generic juice.
