Walla Walla Bordeaux-Style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (48%), Merlot (30%), Cabernet Franc (14%) and Malbec (8%). Totally opaque ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of dark fruit, cedar, dried herbs and graphite. Abundant dark cherry/plum/currant/berry flavors with additional notes of those dried herbs, iron and wet soil. Ripe, plush, nicely structured and well layered. Smooth tannins and extremely long finish. Alcohol is noticeable out of the bottle but does calm down with aeration.

Excellent right off the bat, nicely integrated flavors and smooth mouthfeel. Great blend that time will serve well.

Spicy, tart, full bodied, and complex. smells peppery, the Malbec and Cab Franc take center stage, with a rounded mouth feel from the cab sav.

Deep, rich Bordeaux blend. A little tannic on the finish.

Dark garnet red with thin halo. Smells of dark cherries and a bit of smoke with hint of orange zest. Smooth light fruit on the taste with medium tannins kicking in post swallow. A very drinkable Walla Walla offering
