This is superb, with honest, unadulterated flavors that reflect the power and precision of Yakima Valley Cabernet. The dominant note, apart from the cassis and cherry fruit, is tobacco, with hints of mint, herb and earth. This is a Cabernet with immaculate finesse, shown specifically in the way the finish plays out smoothly but keeps lengthening and adding nuances.——P.G.(8/1/2008)—— 93
