Dark Ruby in colour - impenetrable. Blackberry, black fruits generally, raspberry, dusty, touches of tar and menthol. Very rich and ripe on the palate. Very USA in my experience but also very delicious. It never ceases to amaze how Washington state can produce rich ripe wines like this- just like Quilceda Creek. Luscious and seamless. The Walla Walla valley is obviously a great terroir for Cabernet.

Lots of new oak use here. Dry sticky M+ tannins. Ripe blackberries, dark cherries, strawberries , blueberries , tough leather, cigar, dry red florals, crushed rocks, dry stone, a touch of saline from the Basalt this is farmed as shown in the photo. Coffee grounds, dry loamy soils, touch of olive, dry herbs. Leaner finish with good acidity. There's a potential for 9.4 with more with time in the bottle. Additional photo is the old classroom.
