Buty
Beast Phinny Hill Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Paired with Bavette steak and chimichurri. Dense purple red, highly extracted pigment. Butter, black currant, leather and wood notes in nose. Wood and seed tannin in finish. Worth aging longer; we opened this a bit too soon.

Oct 1st, 2016Don't understand all the negativity about this wine. I found it quite drinkable. Cassis and licorice with dark fruits, leather and chewy tannins. Very long finish.

Mar 16th, 2020This is a beautiful wine. So well balanced with a distinct Washington character that is just wonderful on the nose and palate. Thanks once again JR

Apr 7th, 2018Nice medium to full bodied cab. Purple color, plenty of dark fruit and tobacco and minor oak. Tanning and acidity is as mostly integrated, good but not quite perfect time to drink. Maybe one more year. Solid value.

Nov 4th, 2017What a fantastic wine! So glad we let this one age for a few extra years. Just the right balance of fruit and some subtle pepper. So smooth.

Mar 16th, 2017This is probably one of my favorite vintages of this wine. As you can see by the cork, definitely filter this one. I also aerated it as well. Fantastic with steak. It's like buttah on the tongue with that nice green pepper kick at the end. Fabulous.
