LAST CALL!

Wow! This is a fine example of Merlot. The Champoux vineyard produces grapes that consistently produce the best wines. The 2010 Merlot is dark and supple, complex and powerful, even voluptuous.

2009 Vintage Tasting Notes

Dark, rich (to the point of voluptuous), powerful. This is what Merlot can be. Huge black cherry nose with graham, toast, and a hint of smoke. Sweet black cherry/plum flavors, accented by touches of plum liqueur, Chambord, toast, smoke, and pepper. Tannins are present, with a very slight grip. The finish, surprisingly for such a huge wine, has good acidity to balance the gobs of fruit.

Sineann's style is dark, aromatic with chocolate overtones and complex, silky tannins. A big, plush juicy wine.

Paul Gregutt, Seattle Times, says: "...wraps its super-ripe cherry/berry fruit in rich layers of coffee, toffee and smoke."
