Excellent red blend of 59% Merlot, 23% Cab Sauv, 14% Syrah, and 4% Carmenere from horse heaven hills, WA. $17. Loved the nose on this which Started with cedar and barnyard and subtle fruit and oak on the palate. The ideal amount of oak for me. Paired well with a filet. Tart cherries and spices really came out on day 2.

Excellent blend. Good nose and structure. Full/medium body with ripe red and black fruit blend. Nice to drink alone but great with Pagliacci Pizza in Seattle.

Really enjoyable red blend. Well balanced, with a lot of flavor that isn't too powerful. Very versatile, could be enjoyed with a variety of foods or by itself. Soft/mellow, dark fruit, medium bodied.

Coconut, smoke and spice box on the nose. Tanniny and warm on the tongue.

Smells a bit hot. Nice little coffee aroma underneath that booze a little oak comes through as well. Tastes of black cherries forest floor still a bit hot. Nice tannins but the heat is covering up anything els that might be there. Maybe to warm
