Overview
This wine is a Bordeaux-style blend with 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 23% Merlot, and 16% Syrah from Walla Walla Valley. The 2018 vintage is ripe, with juicy tannins. Some reviewers describe tasting notes of black summer fruit, candied flavors, an herbal finish, ripe red and black fruits, chocolate, dried herbs, loamy soils, subtle oak, green bell pepper, ripe blueberry, eucalyptus, cedar, and vanilla
JEB DUNNUCK RATING: 93
Precise and firm at the core but complemented by handsome blackberry, pencil lead and licorice flavors.
JAMES SUCKLING RATING: 92
The nose of the 2018 Frederick is firm and dark-fruited with notions of baked earth, herbs and spiced plum compote. Medium to full-bodied and with a dusty expression, the palate offers flavors of sweet blackberries and dark cherries before turning to a tannic edge with succulent acidity over the lingering, dusty finish.
WINE SPECTATOR RATING: 92
Aromas of ripe red cherry, red apple, plum and cooking spice. Full-bodied with chewy, firm tannins. Bright, juicy fruit with nutmeg and ground clove adding charm. Dry finish.
Walla Walla Valley, WA - A very complex wine with rich texture lingering tannins. This blend is rich in fruit and layered with notes of blackberry, almond paste and licorice.
