30 min decant. Loads of fruit including black cherry, licorice and black pepper. Oak is spot on perfect. Tannins are nicely integrated. Finish was nice and long. Very well made bottle of wine.

(J Bookwalter Protagonist Red Wine Columbia Valley) Dark ruby. Though locked up tightly at present, this wine shows a lot of aromatic complexity with dark fruit, dusty chocolate, char, spice, and floral notes. The palate is soft and seductive, wound tightly with a medley of red and black fruit flavors. One for the cellar. 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc. 14.8% alcohol.

A simple wine. Mildly fruit forward with soft tannin on the finish. I don't think this is built for the long haul so drink up.

This is an excellent wine that I suspect will be much nicer in a few years.

I should have waited. Was much better on night two, and still had more to give. N
