About The Wine: Washington State has not overtaken California as the best producer of domestic wine but I believe it is only a matter of time. When done right, Washington State's Cabs have a smoothness and an easy drinking quality that most of Cali's over the top reds lack.
About THIS Wine: In the glass it is opaque purple right up to the rim. Jammy blackberry dominates the nose along with prominent vanilla notes. The palate is full and slightly tannic.
Drinking This Wine: The tannins are potent enough that a little bit of decanting is advisable. Leave the wine open for half an hour or an hour to let it smooth out. It is not really big enough for beef but it would be divine with pork steak.
Overall Impression: This is a smooth, easy drinking, and food friendly wine. It is everything you could want from a fifteen dollar bottle and as such it is good for the price.
