Inky dark nearly black looking hue with aromas of stingy, tightly wound hints of cigar ash, ripe dark berry fruit and not much more. (Perhaps this will open up on breathing)
Big fruit bombish front with supple tannins, ripe black berry and not much in the way complexity. Again--perhaps this will open and should open up with some air.
This Washington sate blend of 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot, 14% Petit Verdot, 10% Malbec and 10% Syrah is disappointing in that there is so much more here but it is just too young. At nearly five years old many wines today are ready to drink and in fact probably heading a little south already. My guess is this will be drinking well for the next 5 years and I am guessing that it will mature yielding a far more interesting wine. I paid $12 for this though prices run as high as $26. This would be a fun wine to buy several more bottles of and lay down opening them each year for the next several years. My guess is you will not be disappointed.
