First enjoyed at my local regular tasting, I purchased this one last night and savored it with grilled pork and baked beans. Need a large cab to carry you over the bold flavors of bbq beans? This one is fruit forward, dusty, and a bit sour on the tongue. It is young, but bold.. hedonistic, actually.I don't see this holding up in your cellar, but if you want one ready to unscrew (yep, no cork here) this is a great choice! Ready now to pour and enjoy. Great for steaks, pork, and other meaty entrées or just as a stand-alone. I wouldn't recommend this as your first bottle.. make it the last of the evening. This one is likely to dominate the evening.
In sum, a large, bold Washington cab with big fruit, oak, and a bit of citrus. Good all around and fairly priced at $24.99. T-Scale - 90. I'm not sure how many cases were produced as the vinter's website is of little use. I believe this is a blend, but again, I can't find that info from the vinter. If you find it, email me troopint@gmail.com and clue me in.
