  Still delicious and just as good as the bottle I had 3 years ago. Fruit seems to be fading just a bit with more emphasis now on the earthy/dusty, minerals, dried herbs, and cocoa notes. There is still plenty of blackberries & plums on the nose and palate with overtones of baking spices as well. A lovely wine really, but then again, I like drier reds vs the sweet ones they tend to market to the general public. 92

  Vivid cherry, licorice, starting to get the old raisin taste. Might have been brighter a few years ago but it rich and beautiful. I will drink my last one of this vintage soon.

  Deep-dark reddish-purple in color with ever-so-slight clearing at the edges. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of spice & floral notes, earthy/dusty, minerals, dried herbs, anise, some cocoa notes & a slight touch of vanilla in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with cocoa, herbs, spices, minerals, & a hint of vanilla. Long lingering finish. Drinks well at present with decanting & airing, but at 14 years of age, it is approaching its peak of development although it should hold onto its present plateau for several more years if cellared properly. A blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot & 10% Cabernet Franc from the Seven Hills Vineyard.

  Drinking well. Smooth, long finish, well integrated. A very unique profile....definitely from Washington. Mix of Cab, Merlot, and Cab Franc. Quite complex. Dusty, earthy, chocolatey, and coffee nose. Similar on palate with also dark fruit (blackberry, plum and black currant) and lots of earth (herbs, mineral, underbrush). Medium-heavy, nicely balanced. Definitely more old world than new world. Drink now-2024
