  1. Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

    Fruity nose with red fruits, chocolate notes, spices and tobacco leaf.

    Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

    Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, cherries, plums, light oak, chocolates, peppercorn, light earth and herbs.

    Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

    This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Walla Walla Valley. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward with lots of red fruits and chocolate notes. Tangy, complex and interesting.

    This 10 year old still feels younger and vibrant. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

    Feels like the Merlot and Petit Verdot are very dominant, and the alcohol is nicely integrated by now.

    Drinking very nicely right out of the bottle, and good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

    A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Aged for 22 months in (70% New) French Oak barrels.

    14.8% alcohol by volume.

    92 points.

    $110.
