Great tasting red blend. Januik makes some great wine and this is very Washington tasting. Good flavors of black berry and ripe cherry with some toasted oak and hint of cocoa. Medium bodied, wish it was more complex and held the flavors longer, but for the price, it's tough to beat.

Very good Cab for the money. Has nice flavors of chocolate, currant, oak, and a bit of pepper. Very smooth and well rounded cab. Could be a bit bigger and have a lingering flavor, but a good cab that everyone will enjoy.

This was a little more open, with a longer finish, than the last bottle we had. Plenty of earthy cherry and dark berry fruit. We had a bottle of Owen Roe red wine last night, and this was pretty much in the same ballpark for half the price.

Very nice red blend. Cab flavors dominate-- dark berry fruit and cherry, with some tobacco. Enough acid to make this a good food wine. Would buy again.

Very tight to start. Then, a super long finish with white pepper, tobacco, and berries. Like the previous poster, I'm getting much more medicine than I would expect or want. It's not off putting but does take away some of the fruit balance.

Slightly medicinal with currant and fruit on the back end; I am more fond of his merlot as it shows more depth and polish... I would be consuming over the next 3-5 years.

Terrific red blend with plenty of staying power. Lovely deep red with subtle nose of tabacco and chocolate. A silky feel in the mouth that cries out for deep swallows, but is best when sipped with an entree that needs to be paired with a smooth red. There is complexity here, and further tasting will most likely improve the rating.

A nice red wine blend, of deceptive complexity for the price. Medium bodied. With a blending of six different grapes. High-toned aromas of raspberry, plum, and currant, with subtler suggestions of chocolate, smoke, and earth. Bright yet smooth, thanks to lingering flavors of currant/smoke/tobacco, light extraction, and soft tannins. Drinking VERY well right now!

Still some good fruit here but it is fading. Should have been consumed a few years ago.
