2011 vintage. Fruit forward primarily red cherry and strawberry. Some vanilla via oak. A little heavy acidic wise and not a lot of complexity but enjoyed it.

2011 vintage. Opened up in 30 min. Light spices and fruit aromas on the nose. Spicey, earthy on the palate. Smooth finish. Great alternative to higher priced CA cabs.

Very nice Washington State Cab. Beats many California cabs in the same price range. Well structured and flavorful. Full bodied cab.
