Review:

This red absolutely floored me - in fact, I preferred it to the Cab, perhaps because it is drinking so beautifully right now. Supple and voluminous, with cassis and loganberry cascading across your palate. Nuances of cedar, sage, iron and baker's chocolate round out this damn near perfect red wine. The two best Washington reds I've tried all year: Figgins 09 and Corliss 07. I highly, highly recommend it. - Marcus

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (34%), Merlot (33%), Petit Verdot (19%), Malbec (9%) and Cabernet Franc (5%) from The Corliss vineyard in the Red Mountain AVA and a scattering of other area vineyards. Generous and approachable, the wine has the Red Mountain hallmark of dusty cocoa and chocolate in scent and taste.

2006 Wine Advocate - 94 points - The 2006 Red is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Petit Verdot aged in 73% new oak for 33 months. This loaded effort delivers a sexy concoction of toasty oak, exotic spices, and assorted black fruits that titillates the nose. Deftly combining power and elegance, it should see its 20th birthday in peak form.
