TASTING NOTE: This is a nicely slender, balanced, quite typically built Washington cabernet that combines currant/cherry fruit, herbs, cedary oak and a touch of pencil lead. Really like the balance, with firm acidity and tannin, but nothing overplayed. Not flamboyant or deep but solid, and it does not kowtow to the sweetness trend among inexpensive Washington cabs. Very good length. Score - 89 (David Lawrason, winealign.com, July 20, 2016) Price $ 17.95
