3.5 hour decant. Definitely makes a difference. No need to Vinturi, like last time. Lots of black fruit, some cedar and vanilla from the barrel. If I can find this wine again at discount, I will definitely buy.

This is a fabulous wine. It is a great example of just how good wines from WA state can be. Beautiful deep ruby color, cherry all over the taste. Really full bodied but not over the top. I saw someone got it for $29, what a steal. I paid $40 and still think it is great. Drinking well now but I think it could easily do well for 3-5 more years minimum.

Not as good as my prior bottle. Needed to double Vinturi. Pretty rough compared to prior bottle.

Lovely wine. Balanced, elegant, yet full bodied. As good or better than lots of BDX at twice the price. I will definitely buy this producer again.
