60% Cab and 40% Syrah. Drinking very nice. Lots of pepper on the finish. It softens the longer it sits out. Nice wine.

50% Cab, 33% PV, 17% Malbec. Attic dust, red fruit, new leather, green peppers, typical Walla Walla silky tannins.

2012. A little too primary and big for my palate but I can see this developing in to something special in a few years.
