Lots of red fruit in the nose. Pleasantly balanced w a bit more acidic bite that I've come to expect from WA state reds.

Classic cool-climate restraint on the nose and palette. Soft notes of underripe cherries and olives present on the mid palette. Worked well with my nosh, but didn’t sweep me off my feet.

Blend of Cab Franc, Cab Sauvignon, and Merlot by Andrew Will from some of Washington’s best vineyards. The voluptuous fruit shows plum and rich cherry with a bit of cigar wrapper. Tannins are a bit harsh, but lush fruit evens it out. Excellent QPR and weekday. wine.2016 vintage on Aug 18, 2018

I like it. I don’t quite love it. For under $20 I’d buy though

At Palmetto Bluff. Cool breeze on a porch. Smooth fruit forward. Not much tannin.

More of this. Just an excellent, well priced everyday Cab blend. Plenty of complexity & aromatics. Hope they keep making this every vintage. Andrew Will juice at a QPR peak.

Low cost solid Wednesday nite spaghetti red for which I was released from involuntary commitments to indulge.
