Earthy, stemmy and tannic. Here the sweetish raspberry and cherry flavors that open the wine are buried in rough and bitter tannins. The stemminess is too much for the simple fruit.

Cherry soda, cherry candy; however you define it, this has a sweet cherry character. Light and fruity, it does offer some black pepper and loam character as well, elevating it above the level of simple soda pop wine.

This shows the herbal, somewhat stemmy character of Yakima Valley fruit in a cool vintage. It’s well made, with good balance, but not quite ripe enough. Leaf and stem and herb dominate, with just a suggestion of tart berry.

A bit murky, the herbal and spicy flavors of Malbec are softened into a smooth but diffuse wine, with a plastic note in the finish.

This varietal expression of Petit Verdot shows a concentration of coffee liqueur and vanilla flavors that suggest that the barrels overtook the fruit. The alcohol registers 14.4%, and there is plenty of tannin. If you want to taste barrel more than grape, it’s a flavorful bottle.

Black cherry and blueberry fruit flavors are accompanied by a definite note of mushroom, much as in many lesser Bordeaux. There’s a little lift from moderate volatile acidity, and a mix of coffee, blueberry and smoke through the finish.

Full-bodied and buttressed by oak, but doesn’t seem to have great depth of fruit. Simple berry and vanilla flavors are pleasant enough, but finish with tough-edged tannins.
