  A very nice medium body Washington cab. It didn't wow me as a top tier Washington cab, but nonetheless was very enjoyable.

  Medium weight, fruit-forward, cherries predominate with chocolate overtones, a bit of coffee and tobacco, some nutmeg spice. Enjoyed it more on its own than with the steak we served.

  Purple with a hint of brown around the rim, a little hot on the nose to me. Blue fruit on the palate, relatively low acid, medium- tannins. Solid, but the 13,14,15 run in WA changes perspective on the 16s, IMO.

  :Very nice cab...black cherry, stone fruit, cinnamon, black licorice on nose. Full body, balanced tannins. Great Wash St wine.

  Deep, dark garnet in color, slightly opaque in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruits aromas of cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & herbal notes, spices, coffee, minerals & a slight hint of vanilla in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, lush, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & plums with spices, herbs, minerals & a touch of vanilla. Lingering finish. Readily accessible at present with decanting & extended airing but it has the fruit & structure to develop further with additional aging. [A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Syrah & Cabernet Franc]. A beautiful Cabernet at this price point with an excellent QPR when found at discount.
