good....pleasant...but not particularly exciting or memorable. More than adequate structure, a bit shy on the nose, medium-bodied, short finish. All that said, a very good to astounding value at the price paid.

(Day 2) - color: medium ruby; nose: blackcurrant, black cherry, cooked fruit, cloves, tobacco; taste: medium-bodied mouthfeel, pronounced dark fruit taste, dry, lightly earthy, medium+ acidity and finish with a slightly chalky texture; overall: very good, masculine profile, good balance, drinking well as of early 2023, great value for $14.

This was a little riper and less green than my prior bottle, but still on the more medium bodied side. For sure shows more of the WA cab franc notes - leaning towards herbal with tobacco and leather with firm dark plum and currant fruit. Lean, but tasty with a nice long finish. No brainer for $14.

I think this is very good. I don’t get sub 90 pt scores. It is acidic, but that draws me in for another taste. Yum!
