   Complex and dense, with a firm mix of dark berry, spice, graphite, cedar, crushed rock and mocha flavors, ending with firm, drying tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2021 through 2032.

   Blending 90% Cabernet Sauvignon with 5% each Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, this is a big-boned and full-bodied wine that shows serious intent and complexity. Clove, vanilla and coconut notes are wrapped in sizable weight and a concentrated black-currant flavor, finishing with dried herb and tobacco accents.

   WA – March 23, 2023

   A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc from the Profile Estate vineyard and aged 26 months in 80% new French oak, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Profile is deep garnet-purple in color and shows notes of baked plums, blackberry preserves and dried mulberries with touches of incense, iron ore, tobacco and new leather. The palate is medium to full-bodied and packed with loads of red and black fruit layers, framed by firm, grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing long and earthy. 1,800 cases produced.

   Extremely well-crafted with ultra-fine and creamy tannins that focus your attention on the clean and vivid fruit of blueberries, blackberries and sandalwood. Full-bodied, layered and fresh. Drinkable now but better in 2021.
