Abundant aromas of cedar and cassis, with black cherry notes on the palate. Medium bodied, not much complexity, appropriately priced. Not too exciting, or maybe I am getting burned out on Cabs in gerneral. The Firehouse Red is more appealing to me.

Rich fruits and a long finish. Still a bit tannic. Great with a steak but a bit too much by itself. Wait another year for our last bottle.

nose: roasted nut mix and booze. ripe cassis and blueberry. spice.
palate: intense and still tight. there's juicy fruit (raspberry, cherry), great structure, very long textured spicy finish.

Just enough black tobacco twang and minerality to keep this Columbia Valley cab from being totally jammy. But still, all New World.
