Young....very nice nose. Palate shows sweet spice, bright, juicy. Tannins suggest interesting years ahead

Good value on WT. Still drinking quite well and improved as the night went on.

Very unbalanced. Too hot, still very tannic, bitter aspirin. Part of WL mystery case and it is a mystery why they consider this drinkable. Shame

No idea how WS scored this a 93. Decent food wine, but thin and slightly unbalanced. Sour cherry notes dominate

Way too young. Love the nose, and it hints of future potential.

I enjoy budget wines but this has nothing to recommend. Way to syrupy and unbalanced. Hints of aspirin of all things

Quite solid, tho 2016 set a high bar and is superior to this 2017. Excellent qpr based on sale price

WOW. I had relatively muted expectations given the age. And then the cork was crumbly so my expectations dropped even more. But the bottle opened up up nicely. Blackberries and dark chocolate still going strong. Sad that it's my last bottle

Needs more time. Jammy, hints of tobacco, bold. Good QPR at <$30 WL. Second bottle very good....but I wish I read my own note about needing more time lol

Nose shows lots of promise but fails on palate. Perhaps young, but seems unbalanced with too much heat and not enough fruit. Will wait to open the other bottle.

Disappointing. Maybe needs more time but tasted totally generic on both days 1 and 2. Hopefully other two bottles will turn better.

Fruit bomb, so you need to be in the mood for that, but at the $20 sale price it's a ridiculous QPR. Great cocktail wine with a nose to die for. Wouldn't necessarily serve with food given the fruit forward

I cannot believe this wine retails for $150. It is amateurishly unbalanced, thin on the palate, and has a strange bitter after taste (not to be confused with tannins). I was a sucker buying this at a "secret" discount, only to end up with something so unpleasant. This is the second of three bottles for me, so it isn't bottle variation. I have no idea what I am going to do with the third...

A very good example of a Washington State red, so if you like new worldy, fruit forward reds, you will like this. I was in the mood so this hit the spot. I would buy more at the sale price of $20.

My second bottle. I loved the first one so was excited to have this with a bone in ribeye. Verdict: decent, but disappointing. Seemed flabby in the middle and lacked the back palate. My last glass, however, was much better, so it could mean that this needs more air time than normal.
