Still darkly colored with only a little fading at the rim, this 9 year old wine has plenty of legs left. Medium bodied, classic cabernet nose of red and black fruits, everything is in balance here. Not a California fruit bomb and not an austere Bordeaux, but a delicious balance of fruit and structure which seems to be a hallmark of good Washington state wines.
