Buttery but with some nice acid and lots of structure. So yummy with a creamy cheese as well as with salmon. — 7 years ago
This wine, while from the superlative Destiny Ridge vineyard in Horse Heaven Hills, Washington, is actually called simply “Destiny”.
Alexandria Nicole Cellars releases Destiny once per year. This is their Bordeaux style blend or Meritage. The 2018 vintage is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec, 3% Carmenere, and 1% Petit Verdot for the dark color.
The up-front tastes are cherries and blueberries, with silky body and a complex dark chocolate finish. The residual sugars are low. There’s also that familiar Washington earthy terroir.
This would make an impressive cocktail wine, but we enjoyed it with homemade beef Bourguignon. — 3 years ago

“Damn it, Jim, I’m a winemaker, not an English professor!”
Despite the unfortunate confusion between possessives and contractions, this is a superlative red blend. Delicious blueberry and pepper spice flavors predominate. The body is big and strong without being overbearing. There’s a lot of sediment there, so best to decant or filter. — 3 years ago

Fruit throughout with notes of cinnamon — 5 years ago
