Well balanced and a lovely overall wine. Val said it smells like nosebleeds.

This is one of my first Washington wines I've tried. It's smooth and light with a nice flavor. I'm not the wine expert but I have been to Napa, Sonoma, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara, Amador County & Lodi, and this is a nice wine. I'd buy a case! Don't try the cold grape wines (tried some Minnesota wines) it's like drinking kerosene! And wines on Maui (not so good either)
