點擊次數(shù)：2304

Tightly wound, not very expressive, with a hint of coffee adding interest to the modest berry and pepper flavors. Best after 2009. 560 cases made. -HS

This potent Merlot has a rich, lush and complex bouquet that suggests a wine of considerable depth. In the mouth it shows black cherry, some smoke, leaf and well-integrated tannins. Rare indeed is the pure Merlot from anywhere at this price that can show this much concentration.——P.G.(12/31/2008)—— 90

Firm, crisp and jazzy, with blackberry, black cherry and herbal aromas and flavors, lingering on the hard-edged finish. Best from 2009 through 2013. 448 cases made. -HS

A luscious, velvety, 100% Merlot—how many places in the world can you make Merlot this tasty for this price? It shows why Washington Merlot stands apart from the crowd—it’s full-flavored, full-figured, and delicious in a ripe, forward, fruit and chocolate explosion. ——P.G.(5/1/2007)—— 90

Firm, generous with its smoky, tarry blackberry and anise aromas and flavors, lingering nicely on the fine-grained finish. Best now with food. Drink now through 2010. 525 cases made. -HS
