January 23, 2021 - Purple hue, blackberries and a bit of alcohol on the nose. Silky, warm mouthfeel, nice and round. Medium tannins, medium acidity. SLIGHT sense of age, but drank really cleanly.

July 27, 2017 - as many have said, excellent easy-drinking wine right now. Very smooth and round in the mouth. Tannin's integrated with fruit, acidity barely noticeable to me after 1 hour decant. Not sure how many years this has left, maybe 1 or 2 and then fruit may begin to disappear. This is what I look for from Washington Cabs and Merlot wines. Better after 6hrs of air. Recorked bottle and held up fine second day as well.
