Dark ruby red. Aromas of vanilla, chocolate, medicine, and cassis. Medium-full bodied with vanilla, black fruit, spice. Resolved tannins; soft on the palate. Moderate finish, ~30s with black fruit. Drink now. 89 points (11/24/2004).

Met the winemaker and tasted this in WallaWalla last July. Liked it less than you did-- I thought it was soft and nondescript, despite the winemaker trying to "lead" me to finding greater substance and complexity than was in my glass. Compared to the many other wines being poured that night, this one didn't show so well.

Besides talking to the winemaker for a while, the other reason I remember this wine was that I thought it had an absolutely terrible label design, though I didn't tell him so. Looked like a young kid had drawn those stars, and not a kid with talent.

So, other than that Seaq, you liked the wine?

Sure... Once I got past the contents and the label, it was pretty good.

Nice to see your name online again, Dave Mci. Hope all is well with and yours.

My opinion is more in line with SeaQ's, but I had it at the CSM winery in July, 2003.
