A very solid effort from WA. 73% Cab, 18% Merlot, 9% Cab Franc. Opened an hour before pouring and it needed it. I would decant for 30 if opening in 17 or 18. Quite nice, smooth tannic structure and bright berry fruit on the palette. — 9 years ago
A light and pleasant start. A little mild for a cab. Some sweetness which wife did like. A nice bouquet. Good if under $10, however I don't recall where I purchased. A solid 4 stars based on the smoothness from beginning to end. — 10 years ago

Direct hit to the heart. Beaujolais spirited syrah that offers a super fruit nose composed at first of blueberrie sirup then blackberry with a violet hint after a few swirls. Non filtered with a hint of a gas when opened, no bretts; this suggests coherent and traditional wine making (+ high drinkability when successful). Clearly among the best wines I've tasted from Oregon. — 10 years ago
Color of dark purple, I will say darker than usual cab. Powerful leather note on the nose, hotness of alcohol, tobacco leaves, cinnamons, and barrel notes. I wonder why I am the only one who doesn't get the fruity fragrance. Taste of medium strong tannins, dry with a touch of sweetness from cherry, herby, oaky barrel, some sour cherries, really oaky. Aftertaste of smoky oak, nice lingering herby notes, and sweetness. This is an interesting cab, as the flavors are leaning toward oak and herbal notes. This one shall have the potential to age! — 10 years ago
California Duck migration North. Duckhorn's Washington State adventure looks promising. Full, meaty, and smooth. And taste True to Washington. For their 2nd bottling a great effort and one I expect would get deeper and open with a few years in the bottle because it feels to be holding back from its full potential. Tasted over two nights. — 10 years ago
