Dirty Ruby in color with a reddish rim.

On the nose, blueberries, currants, oak, cloves, raspberries, spices, vinaigrette, tobacco, bitter herbs, earth, vegetables and black pepper.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.


Dry on the palate with plums, tart cherries, cranberries, raspberries, wood, licorice, earth, spices, peppercorn, leather, smoke and vegetables.

Medium on the finish with no tannins and tart cranberries.

This Washington Red Blend is over the hill for some time now. Unbalanced and simple with a soft mouthfeel. As it opens up it becomes even more tart.

A blend of 57% Syrah, 16% Malbec, 10% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Sangiovese, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc.

13.1% alcohol by volume.

78 points.

$20.

A nicely-balanced red blend. Lots of dark berry but also an earthy, oaky flavor that I enjoy.
