August 8, 2020 - Color: deep garnet
Nose: plum, anise, herbs, methol
Taste: plum, raisin, cough syrup, cigar box
This is a dense, structured wine with lots of fruit upfront mostly plum and raisin. Tannins are smooth and finish is medium.
The wine is in a good approachable place now - drink and enjoy. I would guess 4+ more years. -

Toasted oak, black pepper, cherry medicinal notes.
Big mouth coating texture, extracted, feels like a cab, zin blend, was surprised to see how much Syrah here. -

December 15, 2016 - Very warm climate style - surprised it was from Washington. Fruit forward, full bodied. Syrah is dominant. It's very fresh still and is a pretty young wine. OVerall - I liked it - and it would be a good crowd pleaser. It is not overly complex but is a very well made wine.
