October 1, 2023 - Great Cab from Red Mountain aging nicely made by a great producer-no way you can go wrong & at a reasonable price. Delicious.
March 11, 2023 - Great wine, same notes as prior, with wine tasting more Napa than Red Mountain. Recently found the 2018 at K&L for 29.95 which will make this wine an even greater QPR!
September 9, 2021 - Very nice and good QPR. Fresh black fruit with firm tannins and clean finish.
May 7, 2021 - Good solid wine. Very dry, mouth really puckers. Not a deep flavor as the dryness covers it, but a nice taste. Happy that we have another bottle.
September 23, 2020 - A solid wine, but not a Wow. I like Duckhorn's Cal. Cabs better--usually I am a fan of Red Mtn Wash. wines. This has red fruits predominating, but does not have much complexity--although this is in balance. Medium finish. This probably is not a long term wine and should be consumed within the next couple of years.
May 25, 2020 - Needs a long decant or another year or two in the cellar. Rich & generous, structured, black fruit and espresso coffee notes
a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc.
April 20, 2020 - Delicious with wagyu beef filet mignon! Smooth tannins but clearly many more years of aging possible.
April 6, 2020 - Drink it now, it's lovely. Not one to lay down for long. Good, solid, just not in the "epic" category - though I do love me some Red Mountain juice!
March 8, 2020 - This was a great wine. Way better than the price. Interesting in that it is a WA Red Mountain Cab made by a Napa Valley old family winery and it tastes remarkably like a Napa Cab. Not a fault by any means. But the typical Red Mountain flavors were not as prominent as other producers, like Mark Ryan and others. Still, I would buy this wine again in a flash. I paid $34, but probably worth more.
January 21, 2020 - Solid cab, but compared to a lot of other Red Mountain wines this is not built for the long haul. Tasty, but just not overly structured or complex. Drink now, enjoy.
