94 that pushes into 95. The perfect pair w/ Dutch Oven Roast.

Beautiful, dark currents & cassis. Ripe fruits with grey volcanic ash. My favorite Walla Walla producer of Cabernet. This 03 is at its peak.

Photos of Sofia and my tasting w/ Amy Figgins and their Vineyard Manager.

Lush and round deep black cassis, blueberry, boysenberry, caramel, graphite, light tobacco, lead pencil shavings, smooth, elegant. Really starting to hit it's stride. Thick mouthfeel with a dusty tannin finish. Anyone could mistake this 03 from Washington for any well made Napa Cabernet.

Just scrumptious. Celebrating tonight with the 03. Selling my 03 Acura CL with its birth year wine. Fruit expression is amazing so balanced. Yum.

Easter 2017, amazing gem 14 years later, super mellow tannins of tobacco, blackberries and chocolate. Lovely wine and she continues to show her age so well! Happy Easter!
