September 5, 2020 - Dark ruby in color with a nice brick rim.
On the nose light blueberries, black currants, cooked cherries, dried fruits, raisins, cedar, light vanilla, earth, vegetables, dark coffee, dark chocolates, leather, tobacco leaf, smoke, cola, pencil lead, black pepper, wet leaves and black tea. Wonderful and complex.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, raspberries, ripened blueberries, raisins, dried figs, tobacco, earth, spices, wood, vanilla, cloves, coffee, vinaigrette, light vegetables, green olives and herbs.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and cranberries.
This is a wonderful 17 year old Red Blend from Yakima Valley. Showing so much complexity, with nice balance and mouthfeel. Elegant, delicious, mature, and tangy on the finish.
Thank you Paul for sharing.
Needs time to open up properly and show the complexity, and great all by itself.
Wine Enthusiasts 89 points.
I had the 2015 vintage a year ago and it was a delicious treat as well, although not as complex.
This is a wine that needs to be had with good friends and talked about. No need to mess it up with food.
A blend of Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon.
14.1% alcohol by volume.
95 points.
$60 (current vintage). -

October 30, 2016 - Dark red. Creamy purple fruit with a bit of pepper. Very ripe nose and flavours. Fairly tannic finish. Intense wine.
