Purchased in early 2018 and cellared since then. Medium purple, long thin legs on the glass. Nose shows black licorice, espresso, leather, graphite, meat, dark spice. Alive on the palate, nicely integrated structure with still a lot of fruit coming forward. Dark berry fruit, dark chocolate.
Reminds me of a nice classified left bank Bordeaux. Very good bottle of wine at 9 years of age. Can certainly drink now but there are many years left on this.

Enjoyed over crackers and hummus with Katie and Tim. The quality of fruit is still there and it is enjoyable, but what many quality K Vintners out of Washington possess, this bottle lacks; a gorgeous finish and lively balance that still evolves out of bottle and from the glass. For 50.00 back in 2018 when I purchased this wine, this bottle seems overpriced.

dark core, dark red, garnet rim, in color. plum, dark cherry, cassis, tobacco, earth, dusty road, cocoa, spice, vanilla. soft palate, grippy tannins, lasting acidity, cassis, on the finish.

Smooth, candied blueberry from opening to finish. Flavor profile did not fade at all. Paired well with steak, or on its own.
