Opaque ruby fading to pink. Looks young for an eight year old wine. Boysenberry, cranberry, vanilla, and wat for it..yes, - white pepper! Hot on the nose. Palate is very rounded, low acid, medium tannins, dark berries, and a medium-length aftertaste. Not interesting. Thick. Fans of Caymus will like (but not love) this. I love the winery and the people there. But...it's just not my style of wine.
Well made and recommend for fans of big Napa/Sonoma reds. Washington can do a pretty good impersonation. Drink now....or whenever.

Double decant. Consumed over 3 hours. Nice core of raspberry and dark cherry, rich and spicy! Got better and better as the night when on. One of the more complex Alexandria Nicole offerings.
