  Good stuff, nice bouquet, light red color, medium body but light on its feet,great flavors that resonate in every taste, cabernet flavor but lots of complexity, good structure, good sipping, drank with NJ strip steak, would drink again

  I really enjoyed this bottle. It is ready to drink and utterly balanced. Fruit is dark, tannins are ripe and silky, acid is medium, oak is in check. Palate is dry and the attack is medium. Finishes medium and smoothly. If it had a bit more extract I'd score higher. It just lacks some density.

  Really nice Washington wine. Finesse and extraction. Dark redish fruit, minerality, acid and fine tannins. Nice long finish. Punches like a $60 wine

  Deep, dark reddish-purple in color, essentially opaque. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & black plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & lovely spice notes, cola/cocoa notes, minerals, herbs & a slight hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Medium-full to full bodied with a very good concentration of smooth textured & well balanced, ripe fruit flavors of sweet cherries, blackberries & dark plums with cocoa, spices, herbs, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but will definitely benefit from much needed further aging.
