Andrew Will wine tasting tonight at the storage facility. My knowledge and experience with WA state wines is small, so this was a great evening to learn and enjoy some very good wines.

This is their "basic" cab. At $35, it's no doubt a killer value. The most fruit forward of their wines for sure. Lots of red and black fruits with a surprising heft to the palate that carried the fruit well. Super easy to drink. Wasn't surprised that this was my wife's favorite.

Poured two glasses & gave a 90 min slow-ox. Spicy oak w/cassis on the nose. All Two Blondes Cab here. Deep & rich with ample black fruit & a firm acid backbone. Tannins are silky & supple.

Nice, drinkable Cab. Somewhat linear and not complex, but good nonetheless. Nose offers notes of cassis, blackberry, and oak. Palate is medium body with dark fruit and a bit of cigar smoke. 2016 vintage on Aug 25, 2018

I don't really know what to think about this: if I tasted it blind, I would not guess that it is a hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a very dark wine with a nose of gunflint and sulfur followed by ripe plums of the red sort. The fruit character is atypical for Cab, red plums, cherries, and even a hint of red raspberry. Very high acid and fine tannins. Not one of my favorites.

This is well made but not my preferred style. There's good acidity and pleasant tannic grip but, to me, the dominant impression is overly softened fruit.

Solid. Young, can't wait to taste the 13 single vineyards and Sorella.

Integrated and youthful. I'll look forward to the evolution on this because the tannin-acid balance is impeccable.
