Dark, ripe and complex, this wine is dominated by ripe plum and black cherry on the nose, followed by a mouthful of blackberry, mint, anise and a touch of mocha. The fine, soft tannins ride over a bed of lush, exotic fruit in the lingering finish.

Rating for United States-Washington: 90 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>
