Price: ~$15.00

This was a gift, but we've had this on our wish list for a while. We think it was recommended by Sunset Magazine.

Comments:
Yum. It was yum from the first sniff. Very flowery on the nose and the palate. We also smelled Fruit Loops (honest!) and tasted plum, cherry, and oak. The flavor lasted a long time, and the finish was very smooth. Lots of flavors going on in this wine. It's rather different from the California (in-yer-face-with-fruit) Cabs, but this was excellent. We're becoming huge fans of Washington State wines.

Ratings:
7.75/10

Living in Canada we pretty much only get Cali wines shipped up and, to this end, we don't get to try wines from...Washington State for example!

Fruit loops?!! ;)

Great post, thanks for sharing!
