Wine tasting madness!

I shouldn't post this, but how could i not post about a very fine cab tasting the other night...I didn't take very good notes, so this is from memory.

The first was a Sagelands Four Corners 2006 cab. Very nice, simple, every night quaffer. Don't remember too much detail.

#2: 2006 Novelty Hill 2006 Columbia Valley Cab. This was fantastic. Mike Januick is the winemaker, and I am a big fan. Very sweet tannin, palate coating juicy fruit flavor- blackberry, raspberry; a hint of cocoa, and a long, beautiful finish.

#3: Columbia Crest Reserve Cab 2004. Nice, very tasty, but don't recall the specifics =(

#4: Andrew Will Champoux Vineyard Red Wine 2006. Huge. Sadly, this wine was hemmed in by tannin, and shouldn't see the light of day for a few years at least. But the future potential was obvious with concentrated fruit, earth, coffee, and cocoa.

Loved this tasting...Love Washington Cabs!!! Will the big boy reviewers please stand up and shout from the rooftops about what Washington is doing with this King of Reds?
