Pours a dark ruby. Nose offers plump black fruits underpinned by a minty/chocolate note. I'm sure tasty to some, but I keep finding that I don't care for the aromatics or balance of a lot of Washington Cab...

Apr 25th, 2022One of the more compelling and complex WA reds I've had. Still deeply colored, intense nose of chocolate covered cherries, but with a reserved character, rather than over-the-top confected. Very well balanced and missing the sometimes, too fleshy/higher Ph I find disturbing in WA reds.

Needs an hr and a half to show but not bad, very drinkable. If I'd paid more than $20 my rating would be a lot less.

$17 or so. Garagiste wine. less complex than expected. Fruity, over the top but nice. American wine has no terroir so why pretend it does? Soft tannins, NO ALCOHOL BURN. thank you Jon at Garagiste!

Part of a '05, '07, '10 weekend vertical tasting. Least favorite of the 3. A little thin and not as complex as the other 2 bottles.

Decent juiciness and persistence but not terribly complex. The wood influence is more present than I'd like to see. Mr. Garagiste guy, my vote is nay on this one. You are now 1/2 in my book.

It’s a nice wine. Not very complex. Inoffensive. Kinda thin. .

Needs time to open up, starts smooth then finds some acidity.
