I've been so impressed with Tamarack. I can sincerely say this is the best $30 bottle out there. Pours like an $80-$100 btl. I've finally found my every day bottle. I fell in love with the 2011 and this '12 is equally impressive! Enjoy!!

Better than the 2011 which was already a benchmark cab. Welcome to the black abyss, fruit for miles but structure in the bones says it's got a long life, ready to roll, but will develop it's layers instead of the tightly compressed punch it is now, but I like the good jab,

Consistent wine. A well crafted balance of fruit and tannin that makes you want to comeback for more

Big yet very approachable Cabernet Sauvignon from Walla Walla, WA. This full body red has aromas of black currant jam. Tastes of coffee, rosemary, boysenberry and smoky meat that lingers easily. 14.3 Abl Cheers 🍷

Let this bottle open up a little and you will be singing that 80's song, 'you don't have to take your clothes off, and drink some cherry wine'. Cherry explosion add some courant silk to wipe that ass once you're finished, damn cheeky bottle!
