Opened 4 hours before drinking and then decanted for about an hour, which seemed right. Fully mature and drinking really well. A really beautiful wine. Went really well with pheasant in cherry sauce.

Tasted during Taste Washington Quarter Century Seminar
74% Cab, 26% Merlot. Horse Heaven Vineyard amoung others. Ruby color with slight browning. Herbal nose with palate of tobacco, strong teas, very smooth integrated tannins and muted fruit. Sleek wine still holding strong. 91 points.

Impressive youthful color. Current, dried fruit, tobacco and flowers on the nose. Silky palate of cherries, plums, spices, and lingering acid. Delicious!
