  Bold, Drinking well now. Fruit forward. Did a double decant and drank after 1 hour over a 4 hour period. Medium tannins, medium finish.

  TBD....
  
  Wow!
  
  The silky elegance and lush character this Sorella immersed me in... And, that's without air and age.
  This is amazing. But, as I've said before, these Camarda wine makers haven't made a bad wine I've seen...
  The issue for me with these wines, is that they have several blends, from several plots, at various price points, but all of similar quality, in my opinion.
  
  So, does one pay $50 more to experience this mountain top Sorella? Absolutely! Is it worth $50 more than a couple of the others they have in the market? Hmm. That is a different, and obviously a more individual question.
  
  This, Sorella, is drinking well now, and that's without decanting for the usual desired hour or 3.
  I forgot.
  
  Thus, I popped the cork, cooked the lasagna and poof.... Awesome Washington-ness!
  
  Flowers? Violets maybe? I can't get it yet. Maybe next bottle

  The wine left in the decanter overnight, was interesting. It changed, in that it opened up further, becoming slinkier, more tannic and with a more full mouthfeel.
  Remarkable, really!
  
  Load up on this wine! Truly is remarkable!
  I'm going on a road trip this summer! Need to get my Semi truck license for this and Oregon's Roserock Zephrine!
  
  PS- Drink the Rainbow!

  Nice well balanced cab blend with smooth tannins, nice nose and medium depth and length. Drinking well now but don't really see a big upside on holding these much longer.

  This is a BIG & BOLD wine. I can understand why Mr. RP gave it 97 pts. It's a fruit bomb. Delicious and forward. It has EVERYTHING, in spades. I just wish it had a little more finesse. Imagine a picture of a bombshell in a bikini, I just wish she had a sheer wrap around her.
