90 Points - Sean Sullivan
The aromas are appealing, with notes of red fruit, dried herb, plum and coffee. The palate is plump, elegant, pretty, and flavorful.
The Wahluke Slope 2023 vintage was marked by excellent quality, ripe fruit, balanced acidity and rich textures - this is especially true for Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. Lower yields produced more concentrated flavors. 2023 wines will be great for drinking today or cellaring for 2-5 years.
