2002 vintage WA Wine. Delicious flavor of fresh raspberry and light strawberry. The cassis and dark cherry are hidden in the background of the bouquet, but don't overpower. Drinking well but on its way down. Drink soon,

Perhaps should have given more time to pull itself together. Didn't get the same flavor profiles as other reviewers.

A layer of gritty tannins wraps around a generous silky core of ripe currant and blackberry flavors in this firm red with a hint if mint as the smoky finish persists. Cabernet Sauvignon merlot Cabernet franc and Syrah.
