WE: This blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Merlot is inky black, with powerful aromas of currants, oak, vanilla, green olives and smoke. The rich, spicy fruit is there, buried deep below Washington tannins that will take a while to melt. But the wait should yield a beautiful, deeply flavorful wine.
