By Sean Sullivan
(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.

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.
