Still delicious and just as good as the bottle I had 3 years ago. Fruit seems to be fading just a bit with more emphasis now on the earthy/dusty, minerals, dried herbs, and cocoa notes. There is still plenty of blackberries & plums on the nose and palate with overtones of baking spices as well. A lovely wine really, but then again, I like drier reds vs the sweet ones they tend to market to the general public. 92

Vivid cherry, licorice, starting to get the old raisin taste. Might have been brighter a few years ago but it rich and beautiful. I will drink my last one of this vintage soon.

Deep-dark reddish-purple in color with ever-so-slight clearing at the edges. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of spice & floral notes, earthy/dusty, minerals, dried herbs, anise, some cocoa notes & a slight touch of vanilla in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with cocoa, herbs, spices, minerals, & a hint of …

Drinking well. Smooth, long finish, well integrated. A very unique profile....definitely from Washington. Mix of Cab, Merlot, and Cab Franc. Quite complex. Dusty, earthy, chocolatey, and coffee nose. Similar on palate with also dark fruit (blackberry, plum and black currant) and lots of earth (herbs, mineral, underbrush). Medium-heavy, nicely balanced. Definitely more old world than new world. Drink now-2024

Pop and poured. Ready to go Washington cab from Walla Walla. In a good place now. Good balance between fruit in earth and structure. No major flaws. Went well with Callie-Ital cuisine. Drink or hold for near term. B

Very nice Washington Cab that was a bit dry with lots of oak on the palate. Not very complex but a nice Mag to take to a party of not so established wine drinkers

Had it with Tri tip. Dark plum and dark cherry on the nose. Light oak, dark plum, lots of fruit. Also a hint of vanilla. Fine tannins.

Popped and poured - Color dark red but shows some aging. Nice dark fruit flavors of black cherry, cherry, and black rasberry with nuances of leather. Moderate to light acidity. Fine tannins which make it very drinkable right out of the bottle (use a glass instead). Finish centered around the fine tannis which lingers well into the minutes vs. seconds. Wine is very drinkable now but could become a bit flabby in about 5 years. Enjoy now to 4.9 years.

Nice bourdeaux style wa red. Definitely in the "drink me" stage. Pretty much a pop and pour into decanter, then pour into glasses, did well

Rich and dark. Wonderful fruit and silky mouthfeel with moderate tannins and very nice finish. A good quality cellaring wine.

Excellent the second day. Drank part of the bottle after letting it breathe for about an hour which really opened it up, but it was far better the second day. I didn't decant the wine - just left it in the bottle. The color is beautiful and dark, the nose superb with lots of dark fruit. Good with a prime NY strip the first night and really good with chicken parmesan the next day. I'll buy more if I see …

good wine, decanted and drank without any food. Very cherry and spice, with an obvious oak intertwining, but not over the top. Nice wine, always consistent
