  August 21, 2014 - This unusual blend is solid. Great nose and complex flavors; bold without harshness. Medium bodied and delicious!

  May 8, 2014 - Solid and delicious. In great drinking spot now and plenty of legs to last for a few more years.

  November 30, 2013 - I was remiss about taking detailed notes this go around, but recall this wine was very fruit forward, almost candied on the nose and palate. Perhaps it was in a funky phase, but it just didn't come together for me as I would have expected based on prior tastings.
  
  Possibly in an odd phase?

  November 14, 2012 - Yakima Valley Maiden Voyage Tasting Tour!; 11/14/2012-11/18/2012 (Yakima Valley AVA, Naches Heights, Snipes, Horse Heaven Hills, Red Mountain, Rattlesnake AVAs): Ripe black and red fruit aromas marry deep chocolate and loam. Complex layers on the palate with solid cherry, cranberry and black currant. A soft floral note on the mid-palate leads into additional flavors of asphalt, sage and mocha. Good acidity, pure and balanced with an expanded finish.
