Not much here for us. Overly oaked. Firm tannins; I'm sure that this bottle would go from average to good with a few years. Ignore me, though, as I had J. Bookwalter's Foreshadow Merlot a while back, and thought similar things...

PnP'd showing dark color leading to saturated nose of plum/black cherry/black fruits, sweet oak and cassis flavors. Sweet attack with a clampdown of ripe and ready tannins that suggest further aging potential/need.

Washington Wine Trip; 6/15/2012-6/19/2012: Tasting room pour. Plum and lipstick on the nose, tight and a bit austere on the palate, green tannins, spice on med+ finish.

A friend and I tasted this at the Woodinville tasting room on 3/24/12. It had pleasant, restrained bouquet of black currant, blackberry, cocoa, cardamom and baking spice aromas. The palate was ripe, round and dry with flavors that followed the nose.

The nose shows plums, leather and tobacco. The palate shows dark berries and plums with a hint of dustiness, well balanced and not too tannic.

Good cab for the price. Smooth with medium tannins. Could cellar for another 2-3 years, but overall was nice simple cab, nothing complex.

A little lighter than I had pictured but good flavors of black fruit, with a little cherry in the mix. Light tannins, earth on the finish.
