Black ink color with a deep blackberry bramble nose. Gripping tannins make up a somewhat complex structure but do not overwhelm with tastes of dark fruit, big wood and spice. Can sit this baby down or can drink now although it think it will really reward in a year or two. Fantastic QPR, you won't find many wines this good for $30.

A powerful wine with a strong nose and lots of flavor (and some "bite" to it according to my wife). The nose gave me salt & pepper, smoked meats, tobacco leaves, and plumb/blackberry/currant. The smoked meats carried over upon drinking, specifically a beef jerky taste, with earthy mushrooms and grilled veggies. Really nice wine.

I love this wine! Fantastic wine, especially given its modest price. Once again Paul and friends have delivered a wonderful Washington red.
