Pop & pour. This is great stuff! Just enough age to have some great secondary flavors. Primary black currant, cherry and tobacco, with black tea, coffee and violets as secondary. Very enjoyable!

Huge wine, time waiting well-rewarded here. Dark fruit, huge earthy and metallic core behind it all. Deep fruit, surprisingly merlot dominant, although it tastes like WA cab, but I suppose without the sweetness of a cab. Pairs perfectly with chocolate. Tastes like Walla Walla fruit, although this year was Columbia due to the freeze that damaged many WW vines. Extraordinary, reminds me of a past generation at Dunham. This will hold a bit longer, the but the oak will start to overwhelm in the next year. Drink up.

PNP - used the vinturi to "decant" a couple of times as it was very tight. Some age but still good fruit.

Still smooth and oaky....was ready for the wine to be bad....but it was better than planned. Past prime, but still had a nice aroma.

Still showing nice fruit and acidity, smooth and silky texture. Very enjoyable.
