  This wine is in a really good place right now. Smooth, rich and delicious. Gobs of Washington state fruit.

  Heaps of chocolate on the nose. Palette developed after an hour in the decanter. Great W2 fruit. Certainly in its window, but should be good for at least 1-2 years.

  The nose gives an immediate whiff of alcohol with blackberry and blueberry jam follow by oak. The palate has dark fruit but quickly unravels to an alcoholic mess.

  Really not a bad cabernet. Full-bodied, and rich. Not as complex as I'd like, but still very good.
  
  On the other hand, this is the most acidic wine I've had in years. I wouldn't recommend it.
