December 31, 2019 - The third time tasting this wine and each experience has been different. This bottle showed best. At or near peak.

May 16, 2019 - Strong carbonic elements here, which if intentional, is decidedly off-putting. The second of three wines that showed this way.

March 16, 2019 - This medium-to-deep ruby wine is a blend of 64% Merlot, 23% Petit Verdot and 13% Malbec, sourced entirely from the Cougar Hills Vineyard within the Walla Walla AVA. It is a medium-bodied wine offering aromas and flavors of dark bramble fruits, lavender, baking spices and cocoa. With fresh acidity, sweet tannins, well-woven oak and equally well-integrated alcohol (listed as 13.1%), it retains good presence on the mid-palate and closes with medium length. This enjoyable red has at least five years of remaining life. Drink now-2024.
