Love this wine. Last one I picked up from trip out to Eastern Washington in 2012. This has opened up so nicely smokey deep berries on the nose. Deep rich finish lingering blackberry, vanilla and a hit of whiskey.  Nicely balanced definitely plenty of life left.

Blueberry and stewed fruit with a hint of smoke. Smooth.

Somewhat muted nose.  Great acid, nice tannin. Surprisingly light mouthfeel.  Good, but overall a little disappointing from what I was expecting.
Edit day 2:
I'm beginning to believe that one can learn how good a wine is by how well it transitions from day to day.  This wine improved on Day two a fair amount.  I have a feeling that this wine is young yet.  It also needs some decent air.
Way more fruit on day two.  Really, really nice spice/pepper.

You forgot about Dre? Floral nose, with slight meaty and tar notes. Red fruit with some fig and pepper on the palate. Nice, but a bit overpriced.
