This wine is a rarity for Washington in a number of ways. It's 100% varietal, comes from Golden Ridge Vineyard, and saw just 20% new French oak. It offers appealing, luscious raspberry compote and herb aromas and flavors backed by lightly grainy tannins.

Sharp, tannic, and showing some burn in the finish, this brings mixed berry fruit with a wash of mocha. The tannins are astringent and seem to cut the fruit short.
