Rich and extracted just as I remembered. Tastes like it should cost twice what I paid.

Effusive red fruits and tobacco. Soft and elegant raspberries and Rainier cherries. Best of all, it's one of the least expensive wines they produce.

It's ok. A bit to jammy and sweet for my taste now straight out of the bottle. If you can let it sit out a couple hours, the sweetness mellows a bit and it's a decent creamy finish. But I usually don't have 2 hours to wait. Overall price doesn't match my enjoyment.

Okay, another bottle that tastes a bit cooked and a little "off", makes me wonder if I did something that exposed them to heat. I normally like this wine quite a bit, but there's a bitter note and some strange herbal notes I've never noticed before. Striking out this weekend.

Truly a blend you taste as an ensemble. Individual grapes do. It stand out.

40% Cab Sauv, 40% Cab Franc, 20% Merlot. Purplish red in color. The nose has a bright red berry profile with some smoke and cedar, and the lingering threat of mocha. It's lighter bodied for the blend, has bright acidity and sweet tannin. Flavors of tart cherries, blackberries, black coffee and cola. The finish is rather creamy and it lasts longer than I would have imagined with blackberries and cola.
