Surprisingly good. It took a while to open up (2nd night was better). I would sit on this another year and see if it integrates a little better - if so, this would be awesome. As is, varietally correct Cab with some oak, good balance- could not tell it was 16.1% alcohol! Not as robust as some eastern Wa cabs, but more robust than some, kind of in the middle. For $18, undecided as to whether to buy more, there are lots of good value with Wa cabs. This was pretty decent, though.

PnP. Deep red in color, nice aromas of red fruit and currants. Mild tannins that blended into a smooth aftertaste. Perfect match for a ribeye steak.

Shows off the dry climate nicely. Earthy, balanced but intense. Tart cherry and maybe some plum.
