A forward, well-constructed wine with a nice balance of fruit, acid and tannin. Ripe and scented with fresh herbs and dried leaves, this is a pleasant red for near-term drinking enjoyment.

This is 100% Cabernet; a toasty, smoky wine with lots of barrel flavors, woven around pretty cherry fruit. Not especially complex, but loaded with friendly flavors of cherry and oak, with a high toast factor bringing in espresso and smoke.

Aromatically engaging, with plenty of barrel scents— sandalwood, cocoa powder, and mocha—leading into a midpalate loaded with classic Walla Walla Cabernet fruit. Strawberry compote, raspberry jam, Bing cherries, all dusted with cocoa powder. A very appealing style, it’s all displayed broadly right out in front.

This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon was aged in a 50/50 mix of French and American oak. It is still quite astringent, tannic, and herbal, needing more bottle age to meld the somewhat harsh barrel flavors. The tart fruit flavors combine rhubarb and raspberries, black cherry and cassis.

Smooth, round and forward, this appealing Merlot offers black cherry and fig fruits, a coating of dark chocolate, and a hint of fragrant mint. It spent 21 months in barrel, 40% new French oak.

Dusty scents conjure up cocoa powder, red and black fruits, and dried herbs. Forward and broadly fruity, it’s immediately appealing and ready to drink. There’s a sprinkling of pepper, along with a subtle earthiness.

A Bordeaux blend, interesting and still very tight, with details of licorice, plum, cassis, Kahlua, bitter chocolate, and sweet cherry candy. Lovely though it is, the wine is a bit mute, and needs decanting. It’s smooth and silky, just not very deep.
