21st Annual Restaurant Poll #5 - Top Merlot
88 points Wine Spectator - October 1, 2009
Firm in texture, with ripe currant and berry shaded by smoke, coffee and spice nuances as the finish lingers. (Online web review)
89 points Wine Enthusiast - June 1, 2009
This is a nicely balanced, tightly constructed effort, a Merlot that will surprise anyone who has not tasted Washington Merlot in this price range. It is miles apart from the herbal, stemmy Merlots of other New World regions, or the vapid, watery $15 junk that comes from our neighbor to the south. This is ripe, full, meaty, structured, laden with plum and cherry, spice and just a hint of herb.
“Outstanding!” Wine Press Northwest - October 1, 2006
Bob Bertheau drives more than 40,000 miles a year keeping tabs on Cold Creek, Canoe Ridge and the Wahluke Slope, and that care shows in releases such as this. It is hard to find a fault in this wine, which balanced from start to finish, featuring blackberries, blueberries, vanilla, leaf tobacco and facial powder in the nose. More blackberries and black cherries are on the palate with good acidity, approachable tannins and some leanness that should pair well with lean beef or lamb. You’ll have to wait a bit because this wine is not scheduled for release until November.
1 grape clusters - “Good Value<< Recommended” Northwest Palate - October 1, 2006
Lightly toasty on the nose, with notes of ripe blackberry, this wine delivers juicy flavors of wild bramble berries, tea leaf, espresso and plum. Plump tannins and a certain sense of sauvage make this a satisfying match for a rich cassoulet.
