A wonderful cabernet from WA. Deep ruby in color. The nose is cherry forward, with lots of mellow leather and green plants. The taste has great balance. The acidity gives it a nice brightness that play well off of the tannin, which give a great mouthfeel, not silky but not abrasive. The barrel notes come forward more, leaving a rich flavor that lingers, cooking spices, toasty flavors. This is such a classic Cab, really great drinking — 7 years ago
Still a nice wine. Time to drink if you decant for a bit. The Cab-heavy blend has really smoothed out. — 7 years ago

Really nice blend. Nicely balanced after being in our cellar for a few years. Wish I had more. — 6 years ago
Another 4th Friday for the books! What a variety this month!
Very unique WA state wine. Bottle decanted for 6 hours and even after letting it sit in my glass for a good while, this puppy was still tightly knit. Lots of fruit here but it avoids being jammy. Bold black and red fruits and even some grapefruit. There was a spice/pepper note on the finish. — 7 years ago
Estate Rose Syrah. Pale pink in color with orange tinge. Floral, citrus, cherry and green chile pepper, green pea, green bean notes in nose. Orange cherry notes in mouth. Lees creaminess and minerality with some gypsum-like tactile astringency in finish. Nice varietal character, even with aging. Sophisticated pour. — 7 years ago
Smooth! Very very good — 5 years ago
Pale yellow white in color. Floral, baby carrot, tropical fruit, and cream soda/orange soda notes in nose. Pineapple and lemon notes in mouth, slight veg (mustard greens?), some orange and tangerine on finish. Good neutral cleansing acid, dry, some moderate weight astringency on tongue in finish. A lot going on, suitable food wine but works fine for easy drinking before dinner as well — 7 years ago
