Could have used a few more years in the bottle, and it was still fantastic. Blackberry and earthy vibes.

Rich baked fruit flavors with chewy baking spices and baked fruit flavors in there but the thing that got me as it feels like I used to much new oak. The oak flavors were slightly off-putting is it didn’t really feel balanced, and was a little unnecessary.

Impressive blend of mainly Cab Franc and Merlot. Takes time to fully open up but patience will be rewarded.

Some of the best Washington has to offer. Balanced, nuanced, perfect for a special dinner. Refreshingly complex for a New World Cab franc-merlot blend & only a smidge of Cab Sauvignon.
