2005 Cabernet Sauvignon

Tamarack draws upon classic washington vineyard, including DuBrul, Taptiel and Sagemoor, in this blend of cabernet (80 percent) softened with merlot, franc and syrah. As inky as black coffee when first poured, it has the richness of chocolate cake with a vivid red berry core that gives the wine its energy. For short ribs braised in red wine.

2006 Cabernet Sauvignon: Wine Enthusiast

This stylish Cab is loaded with black olive and black fruits, all with a leafy edge. Still young tannic and a bit hard, it has good clean, varietal character and a good length.
