Sheridan Vineyards from Yakima Valley, WA - Actually came out with a new Napa label, kinda crazy! Producer known for several 93-97 point critiques from Wine Advocate each year and this just sneaks it's way out into the world with its white label that stick out like a sore thumb next to its charcoal labels from Yakima. What doesn't stick out is a difference in style from what I'd expect. Elegant Bordeaux style, focus on characteristics of the fruit and not intrusion of oak and alcohol, and firm integrated tannins. Blackberries, black plum, violet, dark chocolate, leather, and vanillin, clove, dried herbs, gravel dust. Very nice after a good decant, but drinking like most 2013 Napa cabs - intense, sharp, and tight; In need of time still, as 2014 drinks miles ahead in maturity already. This wad fun and interesting... Washington like wine in Napa.. It had a faint reminiscence of Randy Dunn and his low alcohol bold style wines.

This is from the same Sheridan Washington state winery that produces highly rated big reds.
Drinking very well right now.
The wine has integrated tannins and is well balanced. BlackBerry plum cloves and leather. Very elegant and smooth lengthy finish.
