Medium (+) ruby color with some bricking at the very edges. Aromas of black and dark red fruits, earth, graphite, and green pepper. Medium (+) body, medium acid and finish, and largely consistent flavors, along with lingering spice. Light tannic grip, but seems pretty ready to go IMO. Worked well with steak sandwiches. Will consume my other in the next year or two.

This wine amazes me. Still has a strong tannic grip, but it has all the things that make walla walla amazing. Love going to this winery up on the top of the hill. Seems the fruit might be fading. I will drink my last bottle within the next year...

Inky dark purple with a cedar nose on opening. Dry, slightly tart with some better, green notes blending with the black cherry fruit. Fairly prominent acid along with some stone fruit bitter tannins. Not quite integrated on night one.

After recently just getting back from another trip from Walla Walla, I felt the need to open up another one of these. Wonderful example of a Walla Walla bordeaux blend...

Better than the last 2 bottles we've had. Fruit was pleasant and balance was best.
