Blackberry, cedar, potpourri, and spice on the nose. Elegant, with a nice weight to the body. Blueberry and raspberry fruit, nicely mellowed with some age, lead in to a finish with fine, present tannins and a good amount of acidity.

Need decanting badly as it was very closed. Once put through and aerator the wine opened ans shown some fruit. Nicely built wine, that could have been more expressive. Perhaps some more time will bring that out. PDQ91+

Tasted at winery: 72% cab, 15% malbec. Malbec really adds a unique experience. Crazy at $20. Nice cab fruit with spice. Big wine but well balanced and everything in its place.

This wine is great example of the great deals that are available in WA wine if you look. Big and complex on the nose, baking spice and some Oak. Full bodied, but no overwhelming. A med-long, enjoyable finish rounds our a smooth but substantial mid palate. Will likely improve with some midterm cellaring, but already drinking nicely.
