Wow, what a nice wine. Full bodied and expressive, it has that nice restrained Bordeaux side to it, and has good fruit as well. Notes of cedar, sage, tobacco leaf, blackberries and pie crust. Just another winner from Red Mtn. I'm starting to really dig that AVA. Very feminine in nature, but she's a big girl and fun to play with.

The nose was both surprisingly raisin-ed and surprisingly herbal. Not at all what I was expecting. Herbal notes to the fruit, firm tannin, and a brambly kick to it. Washington acidity kept it very much in balance throughout. Very enjoyable.

Shockingly good even at this age. Solid fruit, balanced tannins. Delicious.

Decanted with a Vinturi. Full bodied with mild tannins, tobacco, cedar and blueberry.
