Just had my bottle and want to say that contrary to other tasting notes, I would not say it’s aged too much. Very nice strong cassis flavor, gentle tannins, long finish. Love it. I wonder if there is inconsistency across the bottles. I had some other Rasa bottles from similar vintages (eg 2008 QED) that were showing more age and oxidation.

(Rasa Vineyards Plus One Cabernet Sauvignon Kiona Vineyard Red Mountain) A Cabernet Sauvignon prototype that explores the grape’s savory side with notes of tomato leaf, herbs, ash, and mineral. The palate is tart and elegant in style, finesse driven with abundant acidity stitching it all together. Those looking for a big, bold Cabernet look elsewhere but for those in search of a beautiful expression of the 2010 vintage in Washington, this one is for you. Aged in French oak (50% new). 13.4% alcohol. 182 cases produced.

Well stored, I did not think this was going down hill. Very nice complexity.
