Community Tasting Note

Monday, October 29, 2012 - Dark fruit and floral spice open on the nose, with smoky oak and slightly green notes that emerge with air. The palate is medium - full bodied and tangy with firm acidity...there are dark fruits - baked plum, black cherry, smoke and earth with perfectly integrated tannins on the moderately long finish. This shows classic Cabernet character along with nice elements of WA state wines (e.g. good ripeness balanced by nice acidity). This is some tasty wine, drinking well now, although it could continue to evolve over another 2-3 years (and probably hold for 5+ if desired). My only issue might be that it lacks a bit of complexity at this price point ($40+/-)....I might rather have a Seven Hills Cabernet for a little less money, or an Andrew Will or Woodward Canyon for a little more money. But it's nice to support an up and coming boutique winery and the wine showed well over the course of the night.
