The 2012 ‘Artist Series’ is a fantastic blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon with the remainder Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Syrah. The wine opens with a bright bouquet of dried herbs, coffee grounds, red cherry puree and wild blackberry pie. The palate shows incredible balance and poise with good richness. Dark fruits and red fruits mingle with chocolate, all leading to an exceedingly long finish. Drink 2019-2033- 93

I've had several vintages of this and it is very consistent. Elegant cedar and cigar box aromas with precise blackberry and dark cherry flavors. Graceful smooth finish that goes on and on.

Nice 5 grape blend from WA. Deep Red with fruit and spice nose, gentle not overdone. The palate shows rich red fruits with complex peppery spice, oak and this full-body wine showed balanced acidity and fine tannins on the medium+ finish.

I've posted this wine before, but because it's such a baby, drank this one after it had been open for a day, and OH MAMA!!!

High octane Washington State cab. This was a gift from a friend and satisfied my desire for a big velvety red. Interestingly it became more complex with some black pepper and coffee notes after 2 days open. Great with a filet!
