9.8

Ripe in flavor, with a vivid array of black currant, blackberry, violet, black tea and black pepper aromas and flavors that zoom through to a long, expressive finish. Shows subtlety in the layers of complex flavor against a refined structure. Tannins are present but nicely contained. #1 Wine of 2009, Wine of the Year* — a month ago

An exceptional wine from this small Spokane Washington winery. It’s a blend of all their top grapes and one of the oldest Cabernet vineyards in the state. Still drinking quite well. Good harmony still exist between the fruits and the tannins Quite pleased.  — 9 months ago

I really enjoyed this wine, unfortunately I paid more than $10 because I bought it at a restaurant. Columbia Valley wines are def in my wheelhouse of taste and enjoyment for vino! 2019 — 3 years ago

Notes of oak, plum and cherry. Would be perfect with white meat (pork chops, chicken etc.) chocolate or plain cheesecake to balance out the strong fruit qualities. Not something I'd sip on by itself. — 5 years ago
