Classic WA cab but still extremely young. These develop really well with a decade on them.

Nice combo of fresh and dried berry flavors, big fruit, big oak, and pretty big alcohol but all come together nicely with seemingly more acidity than you would get down in Napa. Very nice

Tastes like jam. Heavier than a cab though.

Solid, consistent, drinkable.

Celebrating the closing on our Kirkland house! Yay us! First house ever sold!

Very much a classic Cab. This just screams Washington to me. Big nose of really dark cherries and chocolates. Ripe fruits, lots of oak, coffee, and tobacco all hanging out here. This is a big, brawny, and dense lady but well integrated, with more than a bit of class. With time (and air) she'll soften up and invite you in.

Red rose, dark ripe fruit, tannins are still young, grippy. Medium plus body. Medium plus alcohol. Would eat with fatty steak or BBQ.
