This wine host subtle tones of lilac and chewy cherry. Medium bodied with plenty of depth without being overbearing or jammy. Great showing from Wahluke Slope!

Really was sad when we finished this. Beautiful wine with complex flavors and aromas. Rich color. We will buy again!

Very soft mouthfeel after it was decanted. There is no conflict between the Cabernet and the Syrah in the blend.
