Dark reddish purple. Inviting nose and medium-bodied palate of red berries, pomegranate, and a hint of toasted nuts on the moderate finish. Medium tannins. Medium acidity. A most typical example of mid-range Washington. The midpoint between New World fruit (but dark fruit) and Old World structure makes for an excellent American food wine. Pair with anything from burgers to roots to prime rib. Just do so by 2027.

2004 drinking very well ten years on. Cassis and black cherry, fine tannins and well-integrated oak.

$30?? Wow. Fantastic value - Coda is a blend of the other 4 red wines when they decide the rest of the juice just doesn't cut the bill. It reflects the general whole harvest for each new vintage - sort of their "nouveau" to announce the vintage, but nothing light and lacking complexity. This year was predominate Cabernet Franc in the blend, with all 5 Bordeaux varietals total. Pepper, wild cherries, red apple skins, and leather on the nose. The pallet is bright, and lush, exhibiting notes of cranberry, black casis, bell pepper, vanilla, and a medium finish. Excellent stuff to keep on retainer.

Ripe berry, plum, pencil lead with just a hint of cocoa and pepper on the finish. Supple integrated tannin and more balanced than a cat walking on top of a fence! Loving washington these days

Continuing the Washington love. Brambly herbal aromas with a light touch of oak. Youthful and rambunctious fruit flavors with firm tannins, but a bit hot initially. Nonetheless, it goes down easy.
