A really nice WA red blend. A mix of Cabernet & Syrah, I was expecting it to be very heavy and overly extracted, but it was actually quite elegant. Nice bouquet, smooth, very fruit forward (mostly red fruits: cherry, pomegranate), a bit of spice, mineral. A touch of tannins, but in no way obtrusive. Alcohol at a reasonable level (14.5%) and decent acidity, made it food friendly. Nice long finish too. We really enjoyed this, wish we had more....

Improved significantly over the previous bottle I had a few years ago. Maybe there was a cork issue the last time. Regardless, this we a nice example of a cab blend from Washington.
