an easy drinking crowd pleaser. Perfectly made and pleasant. Not a lot of interest though. There just didn't seem to be anything intellectual about this wine. It was very pleasant but didn't invite any contemplation.

PnP, it was out of the wine fridge so a bit cold but here are my first impressions: Light body cab, little tannins or acid present, drinks a little like a Merlot. Easy drinker, can pour to a party crowd and be a pleaser.

Nose of charred wood, a bit of cigar box and dried prunes..very interesting, almost could be taken for an Italian wine. Tastes of blueberries, a little on the lighter side, not overly complex but has a nice smooth silky mid palette. Medium finish. Not bad at all. Like others have said below, nice QPR.

Not decanted. This wine really exceeded my expectations and, in my opinion, is right at peak and will hold there for 3-5 more years. Polished and silky, with copious dark cherry fruit and a tiny hint of herbaceousness. Long finish. I wish I had more than just this one. Great QPR as well.

Great nose with a hint of Washington menthol. Smooth and balanced cab fruit with integrated tannins. Long finish. Smashing good QPR and drinking fabulously now. Much better than many expensive "name" Napa cabs.

Not sure why I drank this young but wife wanted a Cab and only one on hand easily! Great QPR. Great vintage and smooth Cab but has its Washington roots clearly. Can't do much better sub $30 for a Cab, but still needs time.

dark black in color and rich in aroma with a full tight body and lingering finish

Nice surprise. Bought for $25 @ Costco. Dark, smooth tannins, baking cocoa and baking spices. Really enjoyed this.

Aromas of deep fruit and forest. Tastes off with vinegar and heat. Decent body.

Similar notes. Needs time but can't do much better on QPR for Cab

Way too young and green. Shows promise. Core Cabernet flavors and characteristics, Washington style. At least 2 years on the others

Probably will develop into a very nice wine, but VERY young at this time (late 2014). Give it at least two more years to mature.

Green but just by a touch and then very flush on the palate.
