Dark crimson in color. 14.2% ABV. Beautiful nose of black fruits, leather, graphite and cigar box. Medium body with medium acidity and tremendous balance. Supple and exceedingly approachable. Currants, cassis, tobacco and earth on the palate. Nice length on the finish. Really well made Cabernet Sauvignon from a problematic vintage in Washington. Best over the next 2-3 years.

Decanted >2 hours. We last tasted this vintage almost 4 years ago and the wine continues to age wonderfully.
On the nose, dark black fruit, cedar, leather, and earth. In the mouth, really smooth with mild cab flavors. Plenty of life left to wait a few more years on this vintage.

Vanilla notes in a well structured wine on opening. After a couple of hours settled into a delicious Washington Cab, the best kind. I think this one has legs.

In a really good place right now. Blackberry current little bit sharp. Crushed cherries opened 1.5 hours before consuming as it was a little chilled from the cellar. Big Bordeaux glasses also a positive. Drinking well.

Very disappointing. Not much fruit, good acid and good structure. No wow
