Accolades for Merlot
Tri Cities Herald Review: 2002 Merlot
Incredibly, the palate mirrors the aromatics, focusing on the cherries with a finesse that carries through to a rich and delicious finish. Rated “Outstanding”
“The combination of winemaker Marie-Eve Gilla’s skills and top-notch fruit from Boushey, Klipsun, Milbrandt, DuBrul and Alder Ridge vineyards produces a wine that resonates with distinction. The nose of plums, pomegranates, maraschino cherries and cigar tobacco includes a bit of smoky bacon fat, a sign of the splash of Syrah (4%). Incredibly, the palate mirrors the aromatics, focusing on the cherries with a finesse that carries through to a rich and delicious finish. Rated “Outstanding” by Wine Press Northwest magazine.”
