January 6, 2024 - Popped and poured from magnum. Black cherry and black plum. Some spice notes and a bit of wet leaf and forest floor coming through as well. Similar flavors on the palate. Not as complex as expected but very nice. In terms of structure, good acidity but tannins are pretty soft and sweet at this point. Smooth mouthfeel and finish. I would definitely drink this in the near term if still holding any while there is still some dark fruit to enjoy.
November 25, 2023 - Singing! Still with a lot of stuffing left. Surprisingly still showing primary oak notes with the beautiful black currant.
September 17, 2023 - 2 he decant. Cassis, dusty rustic spice, dark berry, hint of tannin. Nice loooong finish. Similar to a top notch Rutherford cab, but not a Napa knock off. turning out nicely!!
July 22, 2023 - 3rd bottle from a 6 pack, last tasted about 2.5+ yrs ago.
Gorgeous Cabernet from Washington State...black cherry, plum, graphite and moist soli.
The tannins are rounding out nicely, with beautifully supportive acidity, and a long and sexy finish.
Drink through 2030+.
October 8, 2022 - Nose shows vanilla and dark fruit
Palate is smooth and nicely integrated with secondary notes just starting to develop.
Rich, dark and complex I enjoyed it with a nice sirloin .
Would buy again .
November 24, 2021 - Ripe blackberry, cassis, and anise with fine, dusty tannins and a lasting finish. Beautiful wine. 94 - 95
August 3, 2021 - Great wine making. Best after open 2 hours.
May 30, 2021 - Still drinking beautifully
December 25, 2020 - Opened for Christmas. Seems like this one is edging over the peak. Starting to take on some brick coloring and stewey flavors. Still enjoyable to drink, and packed full of fruit, but I'd look at drinking these in the near term. Drink now - 2023.
December 25, 2020 - 5 hour decant. Blackberry, red currant, graphite, cedar, black tea. Long finish, 30 seconds+. Very good, but not standout.
