I tried this wine several times over the last several years and it never really came together. This last bottle showed swampiness on the nose and was awkward throughout the evening.

This is good stuff, exactly what I'd want for $25 in a Washington Merlot/Cab. Theres some sweet blackberry fruit with reasonable complexity, some oak but moderate to minimal, and some good tannins. Touch short on the backend, but it is delicious nonetheless.

This wine has finally come into it's own best time for drinking. Fabulous complexity and still has blackberry fruit. Still needs time to open up

Not showing much right now. Not positive it's going to improve with time.

Good wine, but nothing too special. The Cab seem to dominate the Merlot. The wine was pleasant but no real structure.
