Washington Wine Report

By Sean Sullivan
(Cadence Winery Red Wine Tapteil Vineyard Red Mountain) An alluring wine with high toned raspberries, cranberries, earth, sea breeze, and floral notes. On the palate, a deeply powerful wine with incredibly polished tannins and gracefully textured fruit flavors. Give it a minimum of two years or an extended decant to see it at its finest. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 20% Cabernet Franc. 14.4% alcohol.

One hour decant. Deep garnet color. Aromas of red and dark berries, cocoa and earthy spice notes. The palate has ripe black cherries and stone fruits, blackberries, mocha, minerals and oaky spice. Tannins are bold and velvety. This is delicious.

Past. Fruit was gone. My fault for waiting that long on a store bought bottle.

I got graphite / pencil lead and iron upon first pour, with some tightly-wound tannin on a subdued nose. Over the 4 hours I polished this off, it developed slowly with bluer fruit coming fore.
Both feet firmly planted, this was structurally sound. 92-93

In a glorious place now. Tannins are well integrated and tertiary character is taking over with lilac, graphite, and iron-tinged earthiness. However, with time in the glass, cool blue fruit harmoniously emerges. Outshone a 2007 Pine Ridge and 2013 Montalena.

This was subtle fruit with earthiness. This seemed to be like a wine from Bordeaux rather than Washington. Not sure where in Bordeaux, somewhere north, but this was really good. The subtle fruit and earthiness has a bit of pencil lead and, perhaps, some cedar.
