Terrific wine. Very dark reddish-black color. Nice nose of black fruits, flowers, and spices. It is an immense wine on the palate. Very complete from attack to finish. Especially nice and full in the mid-palate. I expected big, harsh tannins from a Petit Verdot but, to me, the most surprising thing about this wine is the suave and supple texture.

Second bottle opened and it was good, but somehow memory of corked bottle detracted from enjoyment.

Yakima Valley Maiden Voyage Tasting Tour!; 11/14/2012-11/18/2012 (Yakima Valley AVA, Naches Heights, Snipes, Horse Heaven Hills, Red Mountain, Rattlesnake AVAs): Big and bold bright red and blue fruit flavors and aromas. Wood notes such as vanilla and cedar flavors are assertive. Quite tannic, yet broad with a drying finish. A quaffable and a pleasant NV with big bang for your buck.
