Three Rivers Winery Meritage 02
winery: Three Rivers
Platinum-Wine Press NW 'Best of the Best' 2005
"Taking advantage of grapes from six top Washington vineyards (including Champoux, Katherine-Leone and Alder Ridge), this complex blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec is richly deserving of Platinum. It opens with rich, dark, elegant aromas of black currants and dark chocolate, followed by flavors of blackberries and rich bittersweet chocolate on the finish. Mature tannins and balanced tannins make this a wine for the long term."
"Winemaker Holly Turner achieves a velvety texture, harmonious flavors and a sense of class in this winning red. It shows well-modulated, violet-tinged blackberry, currant and spice flavors, lingering nicely. Drink now through 2012." -H.S Outstanding-Wine Press Northwest, Summer 2005
"We've come to expect greatness on a regular basis from winemaker Holly Turner and Three Rivers Winery. This Bordeaux-style blend is another remarkable wine that is both powerful and elegant. It offers aromas of sweet herbs and ripe black currants and flavors of ripe, juicy black cherries. Well-managed oak adds just the right amount of complexity, and balanced tannins and acidity provide the backbone for a lingering farewell." Gold Medal-Dallas Morning News Wine Competition, 2005
