If you like new world wines in the Robert Parker vein, this is for you. Overall, the oak is decently integrated but more present than I prefer. There are a lot of Napa style cab or blend notes that aren't my favorite. This didn't remind me of the things I love about Cab Franc, and I've had much better from Washington (being a bigger fan of old world style). On the positive, it isn't super alcoholic and the vanilla is not overwhelming the flavor.

Nicely balanced. light enough to be good without food. I think it is already at its peak but likely stay another year.
