Color of dark plum, nose reminds me bok choy (or Walla Walla funk), incredible balance of acid and soft tennis, highly drinkable with a nice structure, finish is clean.

(Mark Ryan The Dissident Columbia Valley) A moderately aromatic, fruit filled wine with dark berries, barrel notes of vanilla, mocha, and spice, along with earth. The palate is soft and supple in feel, dipping a bit in the middle before coming back together for a peppery finish laced with chewy tannins. 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Syrah, 20% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 7% Malbec, and 6% Petit Verdot. Ciel du Cheval, Klipsun, Obelisco, Kiona, and Red Willow vineyards. Aged 18 months in French oak (78% new). 14.6% alcohol. 925 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.

a nice surprising B-blend. Leather and dark berries on the nose, smooth integrated tannins, medium finish. Drink now

Nice, young! Cooler side of b-blend. Decent complexity, reasonably balanced

Still young but enjoyable. Dark chocolate and dark berries with firm tannins and bright acids.
