Deep red and dense in color, quite surprising given its age. The nose has a blackberry bramble and smoke. The palate is still fairly lush and silky with black fruit and spice notes and no noticeable tannins. Finish was medium length with a bit of a pop.

Big, dark, inky and fruity. Only real issue is that it fell into the "all Washington wines taste the same" category. Nothing either spectacular or wrong with it. Would have liked more out of it, given the price of the stuff.

Dark and inky in color, charred wood, leather, black fruits, juicy and full, smooth tannins, this is Red mountain fruit, and show it well!

This wine is still drinking great. Pronounced black cherry, brambly blackberries, plum, rare jammy meat with a touch of pepper. Nice long finish.
