2 grape clusters - “Highly Recommended”  Northwest Palate - January 31, 2000

Dark garnet color. Berry fruit aroma with light cedar wood spice. Juicy black fruits balance toasty oak and moderate tannins. Long, well-balanced finish of fruit and sweet oak; try with prime rib.

89 points - “Top 200 Wine Values 1999”  Wine Enthusiast - November 15, 1999

This Washington producer consistently puts out good-value wines. This one's the least expensive of the group but belongs with the big boys because of the delicious plummy, blackberry fruit. It'll be lovely and appealing over the next six years.

Mint-infused blakc cherry aromas. Firm black cherry and coffee flavors with leathery tannins. Tangy acids and tannins propel fruit through the finish.

Bright, saturated ruby red. A lush attack leads a medium-bodied palate with lean tannins. The finish is flavorful and clean.
