(3/2022) "Highly approachable even at the three-year mark, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley shows a soft mouthfeel and layers of rich dark fruits with espresso bean and milk chocolate flavors. This has the weight and bright acidity to cellar well over the next decade. Drinking Window: 2021 - 2029."

(1/31/2022) "Rich but not weighty, with elegantly structured black cherry, mocha java and spice flavors that glide on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2028. 7,011 cases made. From Washington."

(5/6/2021) "Coming from the Columbia Valley and aged 20 months in 25% new French oak, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon has a classic nose of darker currants, tobacco, scorched earth, and cedar. Beautifully textured, medium-bodied, and balanced, it's a great value in high quality Cabernet Sauvignon that will keep for 7-8 years or more. Maturity 2021 - 2029."
