Probably still needs time, very balanced wine but perhaps a tad boring right now. Came in 3rd out of 4 Washington Reds in a blind tasting. Recommend hold or long decant as the last sip was the best.

Decanted 1.5 hours. An outstanding effort, highly extracted dark fruit with notes of black raspberry, cherry, strawberry, glycerin and graphite. This wine is very well balanced and has silky mouthfeel. Tannins are soft and well integrated with a long satisfying finish. Paired with venison osso bucco.

Decanted for over 30 minutes before pouring at a local restaurant. Long finish, notes of blueberry, but not as much as I get in the younger Q.C. wines (such as the CVR), some spices and great nose. A real treat. How much better could the flagship Cabernet be?
