4th Saturday Brown Bagger (R&D's) : Double blind. Youthful dark color with notes of fresh herbs- rosemary and dill- coffee liqueur and black fruit. Tar and black fruit on the palate, with hints of pepper and dill in the finish. Excellent. (R&S)

Had with seared duck breast and cherry glaze. Hits the mark with chocolate, licorice, dark cherry, plum. In a great spot. I'm running out of these ET, Pixie and Bullys might have to pick some more up.

Still dark and powerful, but growing into an interesting equilibrium. One of those that needs several years to come into its own

A bit of an outlier from previous bottles of Evil Twin that I've had. Not particularly aromatic, some blackberry. Some tastes of tart cherry and blueberry but seems to be missing the tannins and full body of previous vintages. Will wait a while before trying another bottle.

Seems a little lighter than I remembered. Air still essential: once it opens, tannins provide a solid structure for fruit that is becoming more refined than in early bottles

We tasted this at the Woodinville tasting room on 4/21/18. It had a rich, fragrant bouquet of smoke, plum, black currant, blackberry, licorice, pepper and spice aromas. The palate was rich and dry with flavors of plum, black currant, blackberry, licorice, pepper and spice. 91+

35% cab this year. Smokey black berries on nose with hint of mineral Cool, developing black acidity, firm tannins ending a bit more subtly than expected. Good acidity lingers on palate as the cab element makes itself felt

Needs a long decant. Not a pop and pour. I saw it advertised as "easy drinking". I would not agree if you need a long decant. I liked it, but only after 2 hours open. Nice dark ruby blend. Full bodied and balanced. Tasted the cherry, tobacco and spice, and some other fruits I couldnt quite put my finger on. Worth the money.

Fruit forward but with astringency and coarse tannins. Not a bad drink. Could see how this could be crowd pleaser but not a wow wine for me. Merlot, cab franc, petit Verdot, Malbec and cab sauv. 14.5%.

Despite double decanting and an hour plus in the air this was pretty rough. Nothing but tannic bitterness. Structure was there, but not really enjoyable at this point. Needs a few years in bottle or hours in decanter to sort itself out. Odd for a <$30 Washington bottle.

Another fantastic blend from Washington's best rebel winemaker!
