Wine Ratings & Descriptions


Value Grade: A
At around $15-$20 for this straight forward Washington cab, there is no need to look further south...if you know what I mean.

Food Friendliness Grade: A
Won't overpower anything but the lightest meats. Washington cab and rack of lamb and braised short ribs anyone?

Ability to Age Grade: B
Certainly balanced enough to stand the test of time, but this is a wine to enjoy now for all its richness and pure black fruits.

Flavor Profile Grade: B
Exactly what you should expect: varietally correct, high quality 100% Cabernet featuring dark fruits and moderate French and American oak.

Additional Notes:
Quality Cabernets at this price should make more than a few California wineries nervous.
