description: Deeply colored, almost black, with plummy edges, this wine sends out layers of scents: black fruits, coffee, smoke, pencil shavings and ash. I like the confident way it sets up in the mouth, firm but not closed, tannic but not chalky, dark but not bitter. Everything is in balance, and the flavors mingle seamlessly. A wonderful example of the Bordeaux-like qualities that many of the best Washington Cabernets possess.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
