Giving a 9.3 but erring on the low side which might not be fair to this bottle. Drinks way more expensive than it is. Earthy tone on the nose is more spring-like and fresh than plowed field but palate gets hint of caramel/vanilla on the front. Really adds some complexity to a cab without being a sugary mess or taking away from its roots. Not sure I would pair this with game or a nice steak, but this is a great red that can stand on its own and is great to enjoy sitting on the deck watching the sun set

Too oaky and astringent, very tart

Light for a cab, but really enjoy this wine. Great flavor, peppery. Surprised by the juice. Great for the $$

2/19. Nice dark color. Full body and bold taste. Expected at least 14-14.5% acl. Paired very well with the lamb chops.

Bold and complex like it says on the label. Great tasting slightly dry complex wine with hints of vanilla and a great finish. I was pleasantly surprised!

An incredibly nice cabernet sauvignon from Washington. It's elegant and not fruit forward like so many other wines. It sells for $18, but drinks like a wine $10 more expensive
