Popped and poured; drank over 3 days. Lush dark and red fruits. Soft...giving the impressions of impending secondary characteristics. I would imagine mushroom and forest floor next. A total Bordeaux wannabe in the best of ways. Fun wine!

Found a few bottles at temporary/limited section at Swedish Systembolaget. The wine is from Red Mtn AVA with Bordeaux-blend grapes from 6 plots. After 2 h decanting: dark red and low viscosity; on the nose, oak, chlorine-like minerals, and green pyrazines jump out first; charcuteries, herbs, and ripe plums and dark cherries peek out second; on the palate there is a good structure and balance between acids, alcohol and tannins, and the finish - which is medium in length - reveals ripe dark fruits, cinnamon, herbs, mint, and a touch of chocolate. Well made and should be interesting to taste after some time in the cellar.

Absolutely delicious red blend. It's the first time I have tried this producer & it competes with one of my other favorite Washington producers, Seven Hills. Love all of the complex, deep, savory,& satisfying notes this wine delivers!!! I would buy this again in a heartbeat!
