The 2014 'The Chief' by Mark Ryan is another strong effort from this excellent Washington winery. This excellent value wine opens with dill, pencil shavings, black cherry and cassis aromatics. There are deep flavors of mocha, anise, cassis and hints of red currant. Showing a little restraint right now, and will be best to allow this another year for the fruit to fully integrate.
