February 8, 2015 - Strawberry colored and floral on the nose. Well integrated flavors of pomegranate, cherry, and rhubarb, with hints of balsamic and cedar. Gentle tannin balanced out by crisp acidity with a medium length finish. Like many "Rhone blending varietals" from Washington they have some charicaristics of a fine pinot and are very food friendly

October 1, 2013 - Confectionary strawberry nose. Palate showed similar flavors with a jolly-rancher type consistency. Mild acids. Mild tannins. Restrained alcohol.. Everything balanced. Super enjoyable.

June 7, 2013 - Black pepper and strawberry balsamic reduction on the nose. Nice balance between richness and fresh. Pleasing structure on contact. Good acidity and gently drying tannins mix with smooth red fruit in the mouth. The tannins are present through the finish. Great food wine. Paired well with grilled, cedar plank salmon and asparagus.
