Classic Cabernet, ripe red fruit wrapped in oak and cedar. Tannins have softened, good acidity and freshness, overall medium to heavy weight.

Smooth- Earthy easy to drink- wonderful blend that embraces a small amount of cab Franc. Definitely recommend

Nice blend and refreshingly to most WA has a bit more fruit forward. 2012 was quite good now but will easily carry 5+ more years.

This is a stand alone unique and powerful wine that is rich and dark in flavor. For me it showcased clear notes of mocha, cinnamon, blackberries, and cassis with a long warming finish.
