Solid and still long life ahead. Dark and brooding until it opened up after about an hour. Dense black and blue fruits, heavy weight, and fully integrated tannins. Give it plenty of air, and on hindsight this would be a good candidate for a Vinturi or other aeration device.

Color: deep garnet Nose: plum, anise, herbs, methol Taste: plum, raisin, cough syrup, cigar box This is a dense, structured wine with lots of fruit upfront mostly plum and raisin. Tannins are smooth and finish is medium. The wine is in a good approachable place now - drink and enjoy. I would guess 4+ more years.

Big jammy wine. Toasted oak, black pepper, cherry medicinal notes. Big mouth coating texture, extracted, feels like a cab, zin blend, was surprised to see how much Syrah here.

Very warm climate style - surprised it was from Washington. Fruit forward, full bodied. Syrah is dominant. It's very fresh still and is a pretty young wine. OVerall - I liked it - and it would be a good crowd pleaser. It is not overly complex but is a very well made wine.

Drinking well, lots of black fruits, espresso, tobacco and some mineral. Bakers chocolate on the finish. Drink now - 2025.
