This vintage is 100% Merlot sourced from the Andrews Horse Heaven Ranch in the Horse Heaven Hills.

2006 Vintage Tasting Notes

90 Wine Enthusiast The 15.5% alcohol does not get in the way of subtlety here. This typically stylish, 100% Merlot is smooth and supple, and it retains the fresh herbal highlights that are usually obliterated by high octane wines. This is a substantial Merlot, tight and muscular, with whiffs of smoke and those lovely noter of leaf and herb.

Outstanding! Wine Press Northwest The good doctor is in again with a memorable Merlot. Spokane osteopath Joe Gunselman typically produces reds with complexity, intensity, moderate tannins and rewarding acidity, and this doesn't disappoint. Pie cherries, chocolate-covered raisins, black truffles, moist earth and peppercorns fill the nostrils. Flavors of cherry and Baker's chocolate are joined by those earthy, truffle notes with blackberry in the midpalate.
