Deep ruby colored, the 2021 Dead Horse emits rich, dense aromas of black cherry, blackberry, wet stone, tobacco, and baking spice. The flavors are intense and dramatic, with dark fruits infused with licorice, dark cocoa, and graphite. The fine-grained tannins and lifted acidity give amazing structure for cellaring and a satisfying texture on the finish.

Blackberry, anise and leather aromas form the best power trio since the Jimi Hendrix Experience. You also can't beat the Dead Horse's boysenberry gelato and bittersweet dark chocolate flavors. Additional notes of thyme and fennel provide support, along with elegant, silky tannins and bright acidity.

The 2021 Dead Horse (91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec, and the rest Petit Verdot) is deep purple-hued, with a pure, spicy, cedary bouquet that has both red and blue fruits as well as classic varietal lead pencil and tobacco nuances. It's medium to full-bodied and has nicely integrated background oak and fine tannins, all making for a beautiful Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon that will evolve for 15+ years.

Deeply structured and generous, with black cherry and red currant flavors that take on orange peel and espresso accents as this builds richness toward polished tannins. Drink now through 2033. 1,999 cases made.

The 2021 Dead Horse is seductively spicy, with a sheen of sweet violet and a dusting of cocoa giving way to minty blackberry fruit. Silky-smooth and ripe in style, this flows across the palate with a guiding line of juicy acidity, displaying depths of wild berries and hints of candied orange peel. The 2021 remains fresh throughout, tapering off with medium length and a gentle tug of tannins. This is a sexy blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot.
