Pnp a glass first night. Extremely aromatic notes of plums, brambly fruit raspberry/blackberry, cassis, along with graphite and floral notes. On the palate slightly warm from the 14% alcohol but otherwise very enjoyable. Day 2 it was showing more high toned floral notes (violets) were much more forward and still just as tasty.

This is a very nice wine, ready to drink now. I find it has all of the assets one expects from a great Washington red blend--each of them nuanced. From the fruit, underlayment, tannins, finish, each of these is there and good. Gets better over a couple hours.

The window is now OPEN! Oh, that combo of Merlot and Cab Franc (with a few bits of Cab Sauv) is the stuff of a young man's dreams! When he's not dreaming about the "other stuff" of course.

Outstanding Wine. Underrated at 88 points. This wine has a beautiful aroma. Full bodied, cherry, cassis, peppery, velvety. Not terribly complex and a bit tight. Still very good. Bravo Washington.

Good w/food, otherwise a bit flat and monolithic. Bought anticipating some enhancement but came up just a but short and not sure why.
