Tight! Needs another 6 months for the Flavors to chill & unfold. Black currants, blackberries, leather. Medium tannins & good acidity with well-integrated oak.

For those who like fruity Cabernet this will not satisfy. This is a lean version with a balance of fruit, currants and red berries. There is still some tannins and oak seasoning all in a pretty balance.

Very surprising for a Washington Cab. Tannins are present but subdued. Green pepper and dark plum flavor. Long finish. Great wine from a great vintage.

Good wine. But the Indian wells is just as good for half price.

Fruit forward with taste of currant and blackberry in the middle. Metallic and cedar finish.

A very smooth after taste for a Cabernet with such deep red color. A good choice if you're taste is just learning to enjoy a nice Cab.

2011 vintage. Nice but I preferred the Cold Creek. Subtle sweet fruit on the nose. Very nice on the palate with mild tannins. Smooth finish.
