  Rich dark burgundy color. Light sophisticated aroma. Tastes are soft fruit and tannins, no harsh flavors.

  Held its own all these years, glad I held on to it! Very enjoyable now. A bit murky, rich color, but the rich aroma and spicy flavors of roasted blackberry & smoked bacon, with firm tannic presence makes it quite respectable. Bravo Brian Carter!

  Picked this up about four years ago on our last trip to Seattle. Since we just got back from the Pacific Northwest I figured it was time to pull this one at our local almost BYO. Great cherry fruit and wonderful balance. A great food wine with a lasting finish. Certainly did not wait too long. Excellent.

  An ok wine for me. My wife liked this more than I. I found it a little over ripe and hot. I would not recommend this wine at this price.
