Pour’n Star at Dusted Valley in Woodinville, WA.
Malbec (60%), Petit Verdot (20%), Cab Franc (20%) join forces here for a fun, satisfying romp. Fleshy notes on the nose blend with graphite/wet stone, hints of strawberry and bell peppers. On the palette blackberry, baking spices, tobacco and black plum are the most prominent flavors. Yum! — 4 years ago
Hints of sea spume and salmon berries on the nose. Notes of strawberry, anise and melon are all pleasing and refreshing. Makes me want to drink it with oysters. Mmmm... — 4 years ago
Cherry blossoms, pepper bush, and cranberries on the nose. On the palette, the cherries come through first, on the sour side, but not puckeringly so. White pepper, pomegranate, and faint hints of melon are secondary notes. Yum! — 4 years ago
Excellent balance! This is just hitting its peak, and can go at least a few more years. Yum! — 4 years ago
Still pretty tight, essence of blackberries, cedar, vanilla and and a pleasing vegetal note (think fresh ancho chilies just plucked from the plant) on the nose. On the palette the dark berry flavors combine with hefty, chalky tannins and sweetness from the vanilla combine for a very nice treat. ❤️ — 4 years ago
Black cherry, coco, and coffee notes on the nose are seductive and indicative of the relative youth of this vintage. On the sip, all those flavors come through, especially the black cherry. In addition some black plum, tobacco and vanilla come through. Yum! — 4 years ago
💥 This was shockingly good considering the price. 🤯 — 4 years ago
Still tight at this point - could go another 5 years at least - beautiful rose, pie cherry and coco notes on the nose. Lots of tannic grip still. Cherry Cola, baking spices and white pepper on the palette. ❤️ — 4 years ago
Dusty roses, chocolate truffle, notes of vanilla, cola, white pepper and tobacco on the nose. 75/25 cab sauv/cab franc. On the palette, this wine is barely getting into its peak at this point (give it 2-5 more years for optimal experience); cola and cherry notes come on strong with tobacco lingering into a slow fade with notes of cranberry, red plum, and fig. Yum!! — 4 years ago

The red mtn fruit is dominant here, bright red fruit, intense minerality, and grippy tannins. Ripe cherry, figs, and a hint of currants... yum! — 4 years ago
