Dark and brooding. Black velvet. Anise, violet, blackberry compote. Long, mouthwatering finish.

Juicy cherry & moderate tannic grip. Not too much to say except that this is an excellent right bank style blend from Washington.

2013. Great balance of dry red/blackcurrant, chalky, forest floor flavors, with a hint of char and sweeter cherry notes on the finish. Very Bordeaux style, with great aging potential, but drinkable now

Probably one the best reds I've ever had. Granted, I'm no professional. However, I love to drink wine. It was packed with so much flavor. Other than the OR website, it's hard to find on the east coast.

Strong tannins, high acidity. Unremarkable pepper and sharp cherry. Let it rest another decade.
