A great blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc - hits the nose right away with spicy woodsy aromas. Full bodied and fruity with a tinge of oak. Long lasting finish. This is a super Washington wine!

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is .ps - friends don't let friends eat farmed salmon.

had the 02 tonight to compare.... They are both very good wines and I would not hesitate to grab either of them if you see them. Both vintages presenting well now but the 02 will probably show even more with time as it "has what it takes". You can most definitely taste a difference - Cab Franc in the 01 and apparently none in the 02. kpak says YES to Washington Wine

I agree, especially since you can pick them both up for less than $20 in a lot of places. Nice price drop from the $30 they used to run.

[quoteThey are both very good wines and I would not hesitate to grab either of them if you see them. My friend in Washington couldn't believe that I haven't tried this yet or knew much about it. It's really scarce in Oregon stores. Local Wine Dept. Managers are saying that they're lucky to even get 6 bottles, and of course, they're not displayed on the shelves.
