I think this is a decent effort. There is some plum like mid palate that I don't like. Can tolerate but not a bottle I was happy to have in the stable.

Offline with Hawaii Wine-O's; 11/9/2012-11/10/2012 (Haggis Home- Honolulu): Opened by TylerHi as part of the Hawaii offline. Sweet carmel nose. Green pepper and toffee notes with some graphite mixed in. Long finish. Firm tannins. One of the top wines at this event. Tried it again on day 2 and it was just as good. 94 points

Wife says.........."Crazy color. Looks brown." Later she revised this to - "I like it but gave me a headache." Quite brambly. Lovely tannins. I think Yakima Valley wines are potentially delicious and interesting. I like how this one has aged. I like hende14's blueberry and floral description. I'd add a little menthol or eucalyptus to that. Nice!

It was more like a zin with some spices. I am not sure about it but will try decanting the next bottle.
