Lovely wine that is still on the upswing in my opinion. Oak is just starting to integrate with the fruit. Took a couple hours open to show really at its peak at which point it was gone. Would buy again.

Fragrances of black cherries, brandy, burnt sugar and tar. Palate starts with red/black fruits, transforming into toasted marshmallow and dark chocolate before finishing currants and raisins. This wine held up very well and could probably go another 1-2 years, alas this was our last bottle!

Nose was a little hot, sweet cherry cola, and plum scents. The palate was cherries, a slight bit of vanilla, and some currant. I think this wine need a little more time to rest and it should be beautiful.

The wine of the night going up against some decent competition. Solid structure, meaty fruits, good balance and a nice long finish. Delicious.

Very nice wine; Classic Washington fruit, but made in a more restrained style so it's not as over the top as some Washington wines.

Very fragrant nose and it opened up nicely. Decanting would have been good but was not available to us.
