The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon impresses with peppery florals, exotic spices and black currants. It's soft yet sincere, possessing juicy, zesty acidity and crisp wild berry fruits. A pleasant, bitter, balsamic spice tinge tapers off long and resonates with lavender and violet notes. $25.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2024)

Nice & earthy yet smooth & tantalizing on the palate, Cabernet Sauvignon from Walla Walla. Opens up with aeration & will continue to mature with a couple years of cellaring. Enjoyed this wine list recommendation.

Day 1: Medium to deep ruby red. Love the nose on PNP, strong cinnamon and brown sugar. A little savory too. Moderate tannins (6/10) and medium bodied. Dried dark berries, earthy tones and baking spices. Not over the top at all. Medium plus finish. Very impressed with this under $25 bottling. Will age nicely for a few years. Drink till 2020.

Hard 93. Ridiculous deal. Length, breadth, fruit, baking spices, such good structure. Long finish.

Ridiculous value for the price. Such a good Cab. Still some strong tannins on this one. Could age a bit longer or decant. Will update after leaving this out for a bit. Day 2: This really smoothed out and is tasting quite nice. Still has a little bite at the end.
