No rush to drink up if ideally stored and I’ve changed my drink by date to 2030. Delightful berry aroma. Tons of red berries with a touch of black cherry, anise, and cedar. Well balanced with a silky smooth mouthfeel. Only modest complexity but very tasty nonetheless.
A truly exceptional wine. Better than some Harlans I've cellared. Incredibly rich floral berry bouquet balanced with flinty, cedared, pencil shavings in mouth. A standout wine from WA.

Much softer aromas than the 2020. Caramel. Light tannin.

A bit over the hill. Flavors are falling off, it seems, but somewhat equally across the board so it's still a pretty tolerable drink.

Tannins still firm. WC tradition seems to keep their CS toasty. it went well with grilled steak.
