Aaron: This bottle was great! If you get a chance to visit the winery in eastern Washington….you should. The nose is solid with a traditional balance of fruit, wood, and vanilla. There are good, bold flavors and the PERFECT balance of tannins. These combine for a great body that is fruity but not too juicy. Granite rocks in the background add complexity while the predominant blackberry flavor makes this a winner. 92 points
Teri: Rich berry nose of raspberry and cassis. Round full mouthfeel on the wine itself with rich but very smooth tannins; aging has done this bottle well. Predominate flavors of ripe raspberry and plum balanced out with some minerality and mossy oak. This is a hearty wine. Serve it with hearty red meats and rich sauces. 90 points
