2005 Vintage Tasting Notes

Wine Spectator 92 points

"Bright and zingy, with layer upon layer of jazzy blackberry, cherry, subtle oak tones and finely tuned tannins, finishing with a light tobacco note, ultimately long and elegant with well-mannered power. Drink now through 2010. 999 cases made." (HS)

Wine Press NW rating "Outstanding"! Big and plush. Hearty, complex, velvety, with meaty, muscular firmness. Good match for steak on the grill.

Wine Spectator says: "What Washington Merlot should be-bright and zingy, with layers of jazzy blackberry, cherry, subtle oak tones and finely tuned tannins. French winemaker Jean-Fran?ois Pellet gets it to finish with a light tobacco note; long and elegant, with wellmannered power. Drink now through 2010.-H.S."
