Exceptionally dry, pairs well with something rich...we paired it with pizza and it was good with the cheese and sausage. Less impressive on its own, but still very good. 90m air. Medium garnet color.

Cherry, strawberry, tar, parmesan and florality on the nose. Smooth and lush, medium bodied, with intense cherry and echoes of the parmesan on the palate. Spicy through the finish, supported by fine-grained tannins.

I fear this may have passed its prime, or is very close to it. Still enjoyable and reasonably priced. But it feels thin compared to prior tastings.

Either some bottle variation or time hasn't been kind to this Washington Cab/Merlot blend. Dried cherry and strawberry, clay pot and chocolate. Medium-full bodied, sating texture but overall feels a bit thin. Tart red fruit and fine-grained tannins balance nicely.
