Cab franc dominant bordeaux blend. Cherries, blackberry, smoke and ash. Leaning towards a ripe profile. This should appeal to the Cali masses

Nice cocoa coffee notes to dance amongst the deep cherries. Silky WA texture.

Lavender and herbal aromas dominate. Plums and pomegranate on the palate. Lean round tannins and no heat despite the 13.9% alcohol.

Nov 9th, 2014Very dark purple, opaque, no sediment, medium- viscosity. Nose sees cherries, some oak, little bit of green pepper, but overall pretty subdued. Palette sees sour cherries, brambles. Medium tannins, Medium+ alcohol, medium+ finish of medium- complexity. Very well-balanced blend in terms of tannins and fruit, but lacking the depth and complexity of some of the best WA red blends. Great food wine however, and even though it's cab franc dominant, I'd pair like a merlot.

Drinking smooth with lots of fruit. A great mystery wine purchase from Garagiste.

Jul 23rd, 2016Bitter taste on the back side. Benefits from an airing out..... Overall I'd by this again. Be sure to decant... Lots of sediment.

Cab franc based blend, really nice with food and a few hours of air.

Nov 1st, 2015Great blend! Cranberry and cherry on the nose. Ripe fruit with bright cherries up front and then it mellows perfectly in your mouth with slight pepper and black cherries. Thank you to the sommelier CT at Purple! He rocks!
