Tasted after 90 minutes of air. Tasted against 4 other Washington State Bordeaux Blends. This was my favorite. Some of the others cost twice as much as this. Muted nose. Dusty cherry fruit. Plenty of grip. Firm tannins. Excellent balance. Very interesting spice on this. Just hangs on the palate. Excellent finish.

Tasted on day 2. Spicy red berry fruit. Black cherry and cassis. Some drying tannins. This wine needs time or a long decant. Will be better in a few years. Nice balance and mid palate lift. Some bay leaf. Sage. Very nice effort.
