Sourced from Dionysus 24%, Pepper Bridge 24%, Seven Hills 38%, Wallula 14%.
There is always something a bit confected/fudgey for me in serious Washington state reds, and this is no different. Cherry cola, chocolate on the nose and while finely ethhed tannins exist, the structure of acid fails a bit leaving a slightly gloppy feel. Maybe age, maybe the region/era?
It was interesting to taste older wine from serious vineyards.

Nail polish volatility - so ... opened up a second bottle. Same flaws. Will reach out to Rob Newsom ... this is embarrassing.

Black cherry with spice notes. Firm tannins that subside slightly over a few hours.

Good acidity with subtle herb and fruit notes. Didn't blow me away but nice, not overly complex.
