As my score indicates, I really like this wine. It has finesse, though not like a French first growth. But for a WA / OR wine, it is polished. No sharp edges at all, tannin in balance with acid in balance with fruit. So many different kinds of fruit flavors at play here! And oak but it is so subtle it could be missed. Savory and sweet. A reasonably good finish that lasts maybe thirty seconds. Drinks below its alcohol content and well above its weight class. I could cellar this for another ten years but it is delicious and perhaps right where it should be consumed for the best experience right now. If I had another bottle I'd keep it for five more years and see.
