On opening was a bit short and grainy tannins took over a few seconds into the sip. Took about 90 minutes to resolve into a very good drink. Full bodied, cocoa and coffee in the flavor profile, dark fruits. Lengthy finish. An excellent match with a big fatty ribeye, the combination had both the steak and the wine gone way too soon.

WOTN against 2013 Leonetti Agliancio, 2005 Dunham Lewis River Cab, 2007 Pepper Bridge Reserve, and 2009 Fort Walla Walla Treaty. Noticeably above some pretty good competition, with plenty of life left. Nice balance of cassis and tannin. Wow.

(Seven Hills Winery Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla Valley) An aromatically distinct wine with olive, savory spices, high toned herbs, cherry, and barrel notes. The fruit flavors and dense and expressive with abundant cherry notes. It’s a mouthful of a wine with brawny, big tannins mixed with rich fruit flavors. To be released in 2014. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Seven Hills and Fire Ridge vineyards. Aged 30 months in French oak (50% new). 82 cases produced.
