Critic tasting note: "Scents of tobacco enhance the ripe, lush black fruits, which amply demonstrate the power of Washington grapes. The winemaking is polished, the barrel aging adds vanilla and smoke, and at this new, lower price, it's a good value as well." - 89/100, Wine Enthusiast

Sourced from premium vineyards throughout the Columbia Valley, including sites from Red Mountain and the Wahluke Slope. Harvest occurred only when the fruit was at its optimal ripeness. The blocks selected were ones that had the perfect canopy balance and allowed for ideal exposure during the growing season.

2005 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2009
Scents of tobacco enhance the ripe, lush black fruits, which amply demonstrate the power of Washington grapes. The winemaking is polished, the barrel aging adds vanilla and smoke, and at this new, lower price, it's a good value as well.
