Really liking this wine now. A little brickish color coming through, surprising flavor density from a light colored red. Very smooth, fruit is there, some slight secondary flavors coming through.

Really softened and mellowed since a year ago - even a bit of bricking around the edges. This is turning into something a bit more elegant and not so BIG and dumb. Drink it now, or in a year or two.

At this juncture it's fairly monolithic. BIG cab flavors and textures. Tight, for sure. If you want to drink it now, decant for a while. I'm going to attempt saving my next (last) bottle for a couple of years.
Lovely sneak preview though. Enjoyed with some Camembert and good friends.

Medium red color, floral , dark fruits in the nose. Plums & dark cherry, medium body, lush mouthful of fruit with long finish. Very nice WA Cab based BDX blend

My 2nd or 3rd go round with this bottle first impressions were not good for a 35.00 bottle however it was likely because it was it was waaaay too young and I opened it right after the KW wine club shipment rolled in. It is now turning into a very nice complex medium weight cab sauv merlot blend. I would completely agree with the rec that 2018 is the beginning of the prime drinking window.

Dried cherries, licorice, jammy nose, slight orange tint on rim. Plums, dark fruits, orange peel.
Smooth and balanced. Delicious

Very tasty. Plenty of fruit and acidity, should be good for a while.

A lesser Cote Bonneville (Cab/Merlot, DuBrul Vineyard). Quite tasty and easy drinking. Not a long finish, or as firm structured as CB.

Lots of cherry and dark-fruit flavors. Tannins are smooth and well integrated. Nice long finish. Definitely one of Kevin's best to date.

Really interesting nose with some deep and complex kind of a combination of earth and cedar. Nice mouthfeel, well integrated fruit medium finish.

Very well made. Just needs time. Need to stop drinking Kevin's wine too early.

This wine intrigues with lifting aromas of cherry, cassis, rose petals and
violets. Just delicious!
