Score: 95 Release Price: $27 Country: Washington Region: Washington Issue: Feb 28, 2009 Top 100: 2009, Rank: 1 Ripe in flavor, with a vivid array of black currant, blackberry, violet, black tea and black pepper aromas and flavors that zoom through to a long, expressive finish. Shows subtlety in the layers of complex flavor against a refined structure. Tannins are present but nicely contained. Best from 2010 through 2015. 5,000 cases made.--HS
