Not bad structure, lighter body, bright acidity, I'd drink it again.

Delicious red blend with a hint of acidity. Even better family story behind the name Alatus

Guess they changed the blend. Cab sauv, merlot, Syrah, and Malbec. Enjoyed for New Years. Opened up nicely with some prime rib.

Very nice blend. Soft for 69% Cabernet. Easy drinking and a reasonable value. Classic Washington cab blend.
