description: This is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 20% Syrah—a classic Washington blend. Here it gives some lift to the nose, and adds the tart and tangy berry flavors of Syrah to the broad flavors of cherry and herb coming from the Bordeaux grapes. The oak influence is clearly felt in the toast and mocha-infused finish, but there is a flat ending that sort of spoils the party. The acids are there, but somehow they fail to lift the wine to the next level.
