If the label is to be believed, this pure Merlot, from a relatively cool site in a relatively cool year, tops 16% alcohol. The flavors reflect that; a thick mix of tar, smoke, asphalt, espresso and coffee grounds. Buried in there is some black cherry fruit, but it is definitely the barrel flavors and the alcohol that dominate.——P.G.(12/15/2011)—— 88

Soft, plump and fruity, this pleasing, pure Washington Merlot pushes black cherry, coffee and baking chocolate flavors into a roundly accessible wine with no rough edges at all. It’s a quaffer with cojones. ——P.G.(5/1/2011)—— 88
