November 10, 2022 - Unique, fascinating blend - perfectly executed with great balance and smoothness - both varietal characteristics identifiable and singing together. Can't hide the Red Mountain voice!

August 3, 2020 - Rich & opaque, but maintains balance. Approachable now (for such a big wine), but also has years of life ahead. Delicious.

May 27, 2020 - ITG dark opaque purple with a slight ruby rim. Definitely will turn your teeth purple. Floral notes, baking spices, berry cobbler on the nose with eucalyptus notes. M+ tannins, M+ acidity, M+ body. Not to be trifled with. Dark berries on the attack and mid palate with a long finish. Much better than I had expected and probably has 10+ years left with proper cellaring.

December 17, 2019 - The Malbec in this has made it develop much more quickly and made it correspondingly more approachable than a straight cab from the same vineyard
Easy fruit, soft tannins, distinctly Washington in tone
