  It has faired better than I had expected. Typical palate for Washington cab. Has not really changed much from what I remember, but holding up well.

  Deep ruby wine with a nose of earth, cherries and leather. Good balance, but lacks pizazz. Tastes Of black cherry, leather and clove. it has a nice finish and decent acidity.

  A ruby purple wine with an expressive nose of earth, cedar and violets. A truly beautiful mouth feel, opulent, but not quite plush. The tannins are really well integrated, the acidity is subtle with tastes of ripe dark fruits and a hint of cloves. The finish has a dark fruit focus and an average length.

  Letting this bottle lay down has been totallly worth it. Very smooth, lots of deep flavors for cab. Tannins really mellowed out. Time to drink is now. Will be on the look out for another 2007 if I can find any.

  After decanting, the first small glass had loads of cedar/oak flavors on the attack. It's now an hour later and the oak is only really noticeable on the finish, which is fairly long. Lot's of green pepper aromas. Sweet plum fruit, almost jammy, on the mid-palate. Good balance of fruit, acidity, alcohol, and tannins. This seems to be a very classic WA State Cab, where the oak is a little too much of a contributor right now. In the past, I've found that this aspect of WA Cab's does diminish with time in the bottle.
