This is a one-of-a-kind wine for Washington, both in terms of the blend and multi-vintage approach: 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon from Kiona Estate (33.4%), 2017 Carmenère from Heart of the Hill (33.3%), and 2018 Malbec. Aromas of baking spice, braised green pepper, plum and dried cherry lead to reserved but still plush fruit flavors that show length. The oak is pleasantly dialed back on this thoroughly fascinating wine. Sean P. Sullivan

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
