2002 vintage review:

Katherine Cole of the Oregonian says: "The Pines Vineyard" Columbia Valley Merlot 2002: Surprisingly sweet aroma of almond-and-plum tart dusted with powdered sugar, followed by a faint whiff of burning hay (The Pines Vineyard was farthest away from the Sheldon Ridge fire). Delicate blueberries and plums on the palate are replaced by a smoky and spicy finish."
