Been Washington wine for years but never heard of this producer until a recent trip to Woodinville. Collectible end label for Martheews. Big, bold Bordeaux blend with a great combo of fruit, tannin, and acid. Drinking well now but can still hang out.

Second red of the evening. Deep and dark ruby red, no thinning. Love the thickness of the nose, coated in dark cocoa, plums and purple floral notes. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Smooth and dark texture with a mixture of cigar box, tobacco, dark cocoa and dark raspberries. Long and lingering finish, slightly bitter but wore off with time. So upset that this was our only bottle, delicious and killer value. Drink till 2036.

Big, bold and heavy Columbia valley Cabernet Sauvignon dominate blend. Nuances of old world wines. Strong notes of tobacco and rich spices, chewy earthiness with muddled, stewed fruits.

The 2012 is loaded with berries both on the nose and palette. This wine totally delivers; it is everything I anticipated. Drink now if you have a bottle!
