This Washington Cab sits medium dark in the glass and has a fairly closed nose at first. It opens up to black fruit and savory oak - not sweet - after some time. The mouthfeel seems rather thin to me, with gentle tannins. Overall, it comes on more like a Pinot Noir than a Cabernet, but there is enough blackberry and plum to convince me that it’s real. Unexpected, but not completely out in left field.
