This pure Cabernet spent 22 months in a mix of French and American oak, though what percentage was new is not stated. It enters the palate with a pleasing mix of cassis, tar and a hint of mint, then seems to hit a wall and fade.

This Yakima Valley Merlot is forward and leafy, with hints of dried herb alongside fruit flavors of strawberry and raspberry. It seems more delicate than its listed alcohol (13.8% abv) would suggest, but it's a nice bottle for near-term enjoyment.
