Juar popped this wine, and just from nose and initial taste I was blown away. Terrific wine and in perfect drinking window.......smooth from beginning through finish! Beautiful dark maroon color with hints of blue fruit and black cherry. In addition: smokey forest floor, mushroom, black olive, & spice. Some green notes on background, but not a hinderance. It is a terrific QPR.

Incredible. In a perfect spot. Drank over 3 nights, the 2nd being the most nuanced. Drink or hold for 2-3 more years, probably has another 5+ if you like a bit more of the tertiary thing. I think it's pretty much as good as it's going to get right now. Lots of fruit, loads of complexity and fragrant as all get. Washington to the max. This is the second best Sineann I've ever had - and I've had a lot - next to the 2004 Covey Ridge Pinot Gris. That's the best wine Peter has ever made in my opinion. No offense to the Reed and Reynolds and Resonance bottlings and Block One. Highly recommended.

In a great spot now, much more balanced than a few years ago. Lovely flowers on the nose, delicate blue fruit on the palate, and enough acid on the finish to be juicy without tartness or astringency. Unreservedly enjoyable.

Very nice Cabernet franc, really high acidity and medium tannins so it's probably best to let this sit for a few more years to develop some balance.
