Opened and poured through a vintorio. Dark fruit on the nose, the palate was dark berries, cherry, plum and hints of tobacco that came out on the finish. I found the finish to be a little on the weak side.

I haven't opened a bottle of this wine in 2 years (see my June 6, 2016 note). It was approachable then, and even more so now. Nearly opaque dark garnet. Nose of blueberry, cassis, and menthol. Ripe, velvety palate of blackberry, cassis, and a faint hint of herbs. Excellent length. Pleasant acidity. Integrated oak. Soft tannins (is this really Red Mountain?). I doubt this will improve with more years in the cellar.

Hommage a DryCab - Washington Wines release; 5/3/2018-5/5/2018 (Various spots in Walla Walla): Interesting. A very dry characteristic. Can tell that this was from a cold vintage. It's a more muted flavor, but feels decently integrated. And enjoyable. I would drink again.

A great wine now - with good bones to last a long time.
