Upon opening, no fruit, just smoky flavor and acid. I thought it was over the hill and I was ready to go open something else. Gave it some time, and it opened up a lot. Fruit is there, but it's fading. Still a lot of acid but it's got depth, flavor, and finesse that you don't often see in older Washington wines. Still got a bit of life left it in, but if you have it, drink it now.

Nice mature WA cab. Some nice cedar notes. Still some fruit remains. On the decline but enjoyable.

Mature, beautifully integrated wine. It's showing its age in the color, but it's tasting marvellously. Drink soon.
