  February 15, 2022 - Even given it's age, this one still needs air...1-2 hours. Tannins are soft and integrated and still has solid acidity. The nose is somewhat muted (also noted by other recent reviews). On the palate there is some savory dark fruit wrapped in cedar, mint and a pleasant herbaceous (green) note. Overall a very good Washington cab with a few years left.

  October 29, 2021 - Wonderful Yakima Valley Cab. When opened there was little nose or flavor. Within 20 minutes the full array of nose and flavor emerged. This is great right now and probably good for a couple more years. Of course, with wines of this age there will be bottle variation.
  
  I have noted that many who report here underestimate the cellaring time for many red wines.

  May 2, 2020 - A major disappointment for a wine that has a CT 92.9 average. Dried out and tired. The wine isn't flawed just way over the hill. Smoky oak notes waft from the glass. The fruit flavors are totally overwhelmed by the drying oak tannins. Hard to figure out what fruits are down there. Reminds me of the movie Inception. The fruit is down at least 4 levels on this wine. It needs a big kick to bring it up to the 1st level. At least the acid and tannins are resolved. I get a forest fire afternotes on the finish. Not good.

  February 15, 2019 - Part of a three year vertical with ‘05 & ‘06. This was the leanest and I thought was a little past it’s peak. This was the third best of the three but would have probably been better received if it was on it’s own.
