Delicious blend, enjoyed it more days 2 & 3, a little disjointed at first.

Un nez discret de foin, de sous-bois, de pierres, de silex et de cassis. Souple, mi-corsé, rond, frais aux saveurs de fruits noirs plutôt discrètes ainsi que des notes minérales. Une finale moyenne asséchante sur une note de clou/poivre. Prêt à boire selon moi...incertain quand ta son évolution possible. Meilleur avec le repas...confit de canard. 89+

Disappointed in the sort of monochromatic, simple fruit quality with a sort of flat finish that I’ve experienced with too many American Merlots. Finally drank better on the third night but was still pretty simple.

A wonderful Merlot-dominant Washington red with great nose and excellent balance. This wine is ready to drink now (2024). Enjoy!

Impressive Bordeaux styled red blend comprised of 60% merlot, 21% petit verdot and 19% Cabernet Sauvignon. Enjoyed from magnum at a large family dinner party featuring grilled NY strips. Very approachable at six years. Developing: moderately intense black and blue fruits and perfumed aromas, evolving complexity; solid integration, and a wonderful, long finish. Very high quality. Drink through 2030+.

Beautiful deep dark purple color. Wow great aromas of dark berries, violet and chocolate. Full-bodied palate has dark fruit, nice oak and spice. Long lingering finish is totally satisfying. Super nice!

I was nervous about opening this up, as I thought it might still be a tad early . However, even without a decant this is drinking splendidly. Medium bodied, long finish, lifting acidity, and fine grained tannins open up to black cherry, blackberry bramble, vanilla, sweet leather, and milk chocolate. This is quite good and likely going to get slightly better.

Does need a decant of at least 45mins at this point in its development.
