Third vintage release, 55/45 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, all from Konnowac Vineyards, Rattlesnake Hills. 175 cases made. 14.2% alc/vol. Herbal aromas. Strawberry, black currant and cherry flavors, maybe some blueberry too. Soft mouthfeel. Good base of finer grained tannins, well suspended on initial pouring. Slightly tart bite before cherry, mint and mineral aftertaste. Layered flavor profile and a very good value for a moderately priced red table wine. Worth seeking out. After 24 hours, moderate skin astringency emerges and flavors integrate. Still highly drinkable — 6 days ago

A collaboration between Isenhower Cellars and a Seattle-based food coop. Purple red, moderately extracted pigment, excellent clarity. Light cherry nose, orange-cherry flavors with length, some wood (and later plum and warm baking spices), bright acidity, plum, cherry, wood and spice finish. Nice everyday red, but better after decanting two hours. Paired well with tortellini, oven roasted veggies, country miche and homemade pâté from a family friend. 297 cases made — 5 years ago
