An always impressive effort, this Bordeaux style blend never disappoints. This vintage is par for the course- a big wine, with thick chewy tannins and rich mocha cherry flavors. The lingering finish is lice aniseed pop rocks on the tongue.

This Bordeaux style blend is perfect year after year. This vintage is everything I would hope for, full bodied with dark cherries and mocha tones, light in tannic structure with a pleasant lingering dark chocolate finish.

As always, the king of Walla Walla Bordeaux-style blends, this wine has the perfect balance of dark cherries, coffee, and chocolate, with medium-thick tannic structure. Decant - the 2011 vintage takes some opening up.

Decant decant decant! This wine needs to relax a bit before showing you its true nature. Spicy and fruity, it tastes of peppered dried cherries in a rich plum sauce. The finish leaves a lingering pleasant tingle.

2010 vintage. Nancy and Hank shared with us. Big and jammy but well balanced and excellent food wine.
