Dark, red purple with opaque, near black core. Blackberry and baked plum in the nose. Medium full palate echoes the nose adding black apple, juicy acidity, and woody, medium plus tannins. Finish is moderate in length and continues the palate. Excellent Washington red occupying that classic sweet spot between California fruit and Bordeaux structure. Classic Cab/Merlot pairings are an obvious match. Drink now through 2028.

Young. Wish I had waited. With that said, it's a power red. Lovely nose, great fruit and secondaries like leather and smoke make this wine big, bold, and perfect. WBA

Better the longer it sat out. Still a bit on the lighter side compared to the other wines we had. Still nice though.
