  Wish I had held this a bit longer but moving things around in the cellar and this was a single.
  Tasted this earlier this year at Red Mountain.
  In summary, a good mid-level cab from WA.
  Barely a meniscus. N was primarily Oak and Cherry. Bit of sourdough, baking spices and soil. Palate had a bit of licorice but was more cherry/blackberry fruit.
  Med+ length with the med+ tannins more prominent on the finish (front). Med+ complexity as it improves over time I would expect.

  Col Solare’s other stuff. Drinking really nice right now and certainly shows potential for a couple years in the cellar paying off. Good structure and solid finish. More barrel influence than I prefer.
