Dark garnet purple. Inviting nose and medium full palate yield blackberry, black cranberry, and powdered blueberries with a hint of charred oak. Medium plus tannins that settle down quickly, and juicy, medium acidity shore it all up from entry to long, palate-continuing finish. Showing very well nine years on, this Walla Walla red is still an excellent classic bridge between New World fruit and Old World structure. Likely at or near its peak, though, so drink up with steaks or roots or other hearty fare.
