took on a camping trip so no formal notes - I really enjoyed it and it paired great with a wood grilled Filet. Fruit is still beautiful but there were nice herbal/tobacco notes as well. 92+/-

Tasted blind but knew it was 1 of 4 possibilities.
Dark reddish black with a clear meniscus and throwing some sediment.
On nose, very nice - black cherry, green herbs (give away for me as it was the only Cab blend in the line-up), black cherry on nose. On palate, fruit brighter than nose would suggest. Medium body, good structure and medium+ finish. Tannins still there and this should continue to age well.
91+ Consistent with prior tastings and a re-buy.

drank over 2 nights - held up very well (just as good) on night 2. Dark red color and throwing some sediment. Cherry, redcurrant, bing cherry, herbal, dried cherry on nose. Similar flavor profile on palate. Medium body, medium acidity, sweet tannins and medium+ finish. Very complex flavor profile for the price - happy to drink this on a weekend with a steak.
Would buy again.

Heavy foil, real cork; a surprisingly large vintage -- 10,799 cases (x 12) bottles; vinturied, decanted, and let stand for a quarter of an hour; medium legs, intriguing nose, an intense wine, 13.5 percent alcohol, balanced sugar and tannins; citrus, pineapple, stone fruit; lingering finish; could well age some more; a complex wine of exceptional character from, to my mind, Washington's premier AVA, Red Mountain

Going strong, plenty of acidity, dark red color. Some earthiness
