The winery calls this their Artist Series signature line. It’s an unusual blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Pinot Noir. The red grapes meld together into a strawberry/raspberry compote, with licorice and tobacco highlights. It’s spicy and sharp, with a candied, red licorice finish, and some chalky acids.

The Les Collines vineyard provided the fruit; it brings Walla Walla Valley strawberry preserves and some sharp acids, but feels a bit thin and sharp in the midpalate. As the wine expands in the mouth raspberries and chocolate take over, still with plenty of acid showing. A little pickley in the finish.

Light and oxidative, with soft, toasty buttery flavors. The fruit is hidden behind all the buttered popcorn flavors. It’s drinking well enough at the moment, but aging very quickly.
