At last-Totally into drinking window now. Struck us as a Margaux, more feminine but also more Cab to it. Great qpr. Wish it was distributed in Colorado as we’d make this our house Cab.
Exceptional Wa state Cab for the money. Needs lots of air for best results at this stage. First night had a touch of sweetness with good nose & a medium to long finish Second day (or maybe decant?) has a fragrant nose, definitely Varietally correct, less delicate structure with medium finish

Finally opened up this bottle. Very nice Cab. Not too bold, with lots of blackberry and cherry, also oak and earthy notes on the nose. I pick up some vanilla as well on the palate and a decently pepper finish. I thought this was enjoyable and if you can find it under $30 it's a nice buy. Good stuff!

This was a little disappointing honestly. Seemed thin on body. Low tannins, fruit was muted. No detectable faults, just meh. I have had other vintages and they were ok, maybe just a miss this year.
fruit forward, little low on acidity/tannins, subtle thin/bitter note mid palate, finished a little sweet, 2+ hours of air helped, but style is neutral for my palate, not a bad wine.
