Nice wine. Red fruit, earthy nose. Dark berry, full bodied, little vanilla, merlot-cab blend, spicy, nicely balanced. Wine would go well with or without food. Drinking nicely at this time.

This wine was still pretty tight and tannic. Took an hour to open up. Solid red blend...was hoping for a little better, but nice ripe red fruits, some dark plums, white pepper, touch of oak...good wine...

What a fabulous bottle!! Great deep nose, dark berry hue, easy drinking wine from start to finish. My wife and I enjoyed this bottle with a nice ribeye. Candidly, it was superb with and without food. Loving WA wines-- diamonds in the rough!!

Popped and poured this tonight. Much better than a year ago. Very nice red blend with light spice on the nose and fresh red fruit on the taste. At this price point, this is a nice wine to drink with many different entrees or just by itself.

Not nearly the wine that the "07 was. Still well made but very young. I would love to taste this again in three to four years. Loads of fruit, but tight and tannic. Lengthy finish albeit a little bitter due to the tannins.

Still a little young but drank nicely. Got better over a couple of hours. I wouldn't expect great things from this particular wine compared to premium Waters cabs but was nice on a light summer day.

Confectionary nose. Taste seemed was light red sweet fruit with thin mouth feel. Mild tannin. Felt pretty insipid.

I enjoyed this wine very much, smooth with flavors of berry; would definitely buy it again.

Very drinkable. Good nose. Not terribly complex but nice blend. More Cab than in a typical bordeaux. Excellent before dinner.

Needs a good aerator + decant prior to serving

Pacific Northwest Tasting Trip (Walla Walla Day 2): Nose of red fruits, black pepper, and ink.
Palate of rip red fruits, little ink, black pepper.
Decent food wine.
