  Blind tasting.
  Color: Medium Ruby, with a touch of garnet.
  Aromatic Intensity: M
  Sweetness: Dry
  Acidity: M+
  Tannin Level: M+
  Tannin Nature: Ripe, fine-grained
  Alcohol: High (13.5%)
  Body: Full
  Flavor Intensity: M
  Aroma & Flavor Characteristics: Red cherry, red plum, charred wood, vanilla, clove, dried leaves, forest floor, tobacco. Light balsamic vinegar and barnyard.
  Other Observations: Lacking harmony
  Finish: M/M+
  Quality: Good. Alcohol was a little out of balance.
  Aging: Not suitable. While there is sufficient acid, tannin, and alcohol for aging, the fruit would not gain in complexity, and therefore the wine would not improve with age.

  Definitely a Washington State Cab. A little thin and slightly bitter but got better with some air, but still much different from Napa Cab. I got a closeout bargain at 70% off list so no complaints.

  Juicy wine with cherry, plum, minerals and mild spice. Medium plus finish.
