This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington State.
Full bodied with medium acidity.
Dry and very fruity on the palate.
Showing black fruits with earth, wood, spices, peppercorn, chocolates, tobacco, graphite, vegetables and herbs.
Tangy finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
Rich and extracted. Fruit forward with nice complexity.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Very tasty and good by itself. This Single Vineyard needs time to open up properly, so be patient.
I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
15.1% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

Huge nose. Huge aromas. Green apple, spice, white alpine fields of flowers. Also fresh tilled dirt. Like the freshest. Huge earnest and vocal aromatic minerality reminds me of Chenin Muscadet. Like Coteaux de Loir or Jasnieres. So layered and complex. Really just ethereal and so distinct. This is one of the longest aging Altesse out there. Wow, so elegant and pure with just searing mineral force. Juicy and so balanced with unreal acidity and depth. This is not for everyone in that it has a severity/austerity not meant for every drinker but all my geeks will adore this. So luscious. It’s the liquid equivalent of a long, meandering Tarkovsky film like Stalker or Nostalgia. Love it. — 6 years ago
This is a beautifully polished single-vineyard Washington wine. It is extremely big and polished, with lots of bright red ripe currant and plum fruits, a silky mouthfeel, and very restrained on the oak. This wine will impress your friends. — 7 years ago
08’ Was a very good vintage. It holds up to the 05 & 02.
The nose is somewhat restrained. Don’t let that fool you. The palate, lushness(when it warms up)with apples, intense mineral core. Great structure & balance. The rather high acidity & fruit play nicely together.
Has another 5+ years in it. — 8 years ago

Amazing mouth feel, full body… could age another 15 years. Love it. Winery with a Cause — 4 years ago
It is mind blowing how chenin Blanc has the potential to produce such long lasting fresh wines. Full bodied, apricot which is mouth filling and unctuous yet does not overpower you and stays fresh making you go for the next glass. Magnificent bottle from “den Eddy”. — 5 years ago
Not very intense, but quite rich: cereals, cocoa, red fruits (blackberries, cherry) — 7 years ago
Luxurious #margaux #bordeaux, mushroom, forest floor, violet on the nose. Reserved elegant dark fruit, some cocoa, lovely acidity for the backbone and fine well-integrated tannins. A little tight as it wasn’t decanted as long as it should have been due to eager drinkers. I can see this could age easily another 5- 10 years, but what a treat for friends over on Saturday night. — 7 years ago

Clear, deep ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of blackberries, black cherries, violets, and baking spices; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, high tannins, high alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of raspberries, blueberries, and fresh asphalt with a long finish. Overall, this wine is complex and intense. I rate this wine as very good. — 6 months ago
