  Similar to previous notes. This has a fruit-forward style, with a bit of power, but feels pretty one-dimensional, and even inexpensive. Not something I'd seek out.

  Very much ready to drink now. Mainly red fruit on the taste and tea on the nose. Lacks some structure

  Similar to previous notes; just a bit of a too obvious fruit style for me, again reminding me of the likes of modern Caymus. This held up well on the 2nd day, and it has some aspects I pick up from other Washington cabs which can be inviting and welcome - a kind of saline saltiness with very fine grained tannins. Some may find this very appealing but I prefer more structure and some dryness.

  Sweet and spicy, this bottle had more going on than the previous one. Cassis syrup and cinnamon-allspice-ginger with a hint of vanilla. A touch flabby but tasty.
