The wine is a lovely deep ruby color in the glass, just as you'd expect for a blend so heavy on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The nose presents lovely ripe red fruit cherry, currant and plum intermingles with some light floral notes and a hint of cedar and mint. The taste is a rush of ripe red fruits that expresses the wonderful terroir of the Seven Hills Vineyard. The cherry, raspberry and current transition elegantly to some wonderful notes of dark chocolate and mocha midpalate. The chalky tannins are the ideal foundation for the long, elegant and very dry finish that just beckons you to take another sip.
Overall, I would rate this wine a solid 9, as it's a premier example of the wonderful blends from the Walla Walla Valley. This wine would pair well with a broad range of dishes, or simply sipping on the patio on a summer afternoon. Tonight, I am enjoying this wine with a rare prime New York strip, oven roasted fingerling potatoes and grilled asparagus. This wine is perfect with a really good steak, Cheers!
