this 100% estate-grown cabernet carries some of the identifying aromas of the rocks, a part of walla walla where vineyards are planted on a dry river bed. hints of earth, clay and chocolate make a lively introduction to a wine loaded with cherry and currant fruit flavors. the wine spent 20 months in french oak, but the barrel scents and flavors are handled lightly; the fruit is the star of this show. a fine debut.
