I've noticed most wines I drink from the Pacific Northwest tend to have this "rainfall" quality on the nose. Not muddy earth but the dampness you can smell walking outside after a rain. It's lovely. The vegetal notes are subdued but apparent, with fruit coming forward on the palate. Nice acidity, fresh and inviting. This is a cab you can drink on its own or be a little better with red meats. Your choice. Can't go wrong.

Grrrr!!!.....it's so hard not to say anything bad about wine, but then again, you can't like everything one winemaker likes!!! I love the Browne Cab & I like The Waterbrook Reserve Cab, for 7 bones more. This however, I can't wrap my lips around. It feels like they tried to RUSH, RUSH, RUSH!!! $8 / 83pts

Just getting acclimated to WA state reds. I bought a bottle to compare to their Reserve. As expected and based on price points, a decent swill for the money ($17 in DE). I would buy again. 2016 vintage on 3/8/2021.

On the dry side, a little of the cask. Not bad, but not my favorite either.
