It’s got the sooty, fire pit minerality that announces Walla Walla, along with sweet dark cherry and blackberry fruit and some sweet baking spice. Mouthfilling and rich, with ripe dark berry fruit augmented by savory notes. Loads of tacky tannin but fairly low acids indicate that this is probably for drinking over the next few years.

Smells of fruit grown in gravel.

Loud blueberries, cran Pom grape good, clean, smooth, mouthfeel and wonderfully light heft. A whole lot bouncing around in this wine. The acid oak balance is strikingly harmonious.
Lingering blue fruit skin. A good one to watch the latest GOT with.

A good everyday wine. Merlot base. Can Franc pops through. Lite tannins.

Traditional red blend of Merlot, Cab Sauvignon, Malbec, and Cab Franc. Fresh and vibrant, offering distinctive floral, white pepper, and tamarind overtones to the dark berry flavors, mingling on a well-balanced finish

Very dissapointed. This was highly recommended on the garagiste, but it doesn't deliver. 57 merlot, 27 cab sauv, 13 malbec, 3 cab fr. Maybe i drank it too early, but i don't see this wine going anywhere.
