Gorgeous nose of black brambly fruit, smells like it was just bottled, leads pure liquorice extract and blackberry jam. Big, beautiful, soft and with nicely balanced oaky tannins. Nothing too complex but perfect for a fatty steak. Yum.

This Bordeaux style blend iis from a family owned winery in Walla Walla, made from estate grown grapes. It tastes like a high end Rutherford Cabernet. It is a full bodied wine, with a deceptively light beginning. It is polished and smooth with dust mineral tannins. Tastes include cherry, mocha, red currant, and the mouthfeel is smooth and sophisticated. Its status is “preferred” 😺🍷💓

A very sultry-styled wine. The nose has ripe cherry and red berries, along with a smoky, low toned rushed stone minerality. Intense and round attack, with lots of ripe (but not overripe) fruit, vanilla, and smoke. Fairly long finish with a hint of bitterness at the very end.

I was able to attend another Wednesday Wine Committee this week and it did not disappoint (they never do). As normal, all wines are tasted blind (1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds, 1 dessert).
Very Bordeaux like. Not as much pronounced leather as Bordeaux, but the medium bodied finish with the balance of fruit and secondary notes (cedar, menthol, Bing cherries, dustiness) showed it couldn't be Napa (Napa would still have a ton of fruit going on). WA is starting to really impress me.

Dusty dark black fruit to start, love the balance of the cab franc through the finish. Delicious.
