| Community Tasting Notes (average 82.4 pts. and median of 80 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by vcurrie on 9/18/2011 & rated 89 points: Very full aroma with good fruit, a bit of wood and some earth. The taste matched the aroma with a light fruit and a long balanced finish. This was just what a merlot should be. (1827 views) | | | Tasted by Kiltedtaz on 8/20/2011 & rated 80 points: Big rich color, very nice aroma. Very quick finish and dry. (1181 views) | | | Tasted by David Paris (dbp) on 4/10/2010 & rated 79 points: North Willamette Vintner's Wine Trail Weekend; 4/10/2010-4/11/2010: Thick, rich, with chocolate, vanillan wood, and some boooze on the nose. Thick, creamy, full bodied on the palate, and something here feels completely off balanced. It's soft but tannins are building, with basically all berry flavors on the palate. The finish is hot and off balanced, with berries. It's pretty boring and boarding on gross. (2594 views) |
| David Hill Producer WebsiteMerlotMerlot is a dark blue–colored wine grape variety, that is used as both a blending grape and for varietal wines. The name Merlot is thought to be a diminutive of merle, the French name for the blackbird, probably a reference to the color of the grape. Its softness and "fleshiness", combined with its earlier ripening, makes Merlot a popular grape for blending with the sterner, later-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon, which tends to be higher in tannin.Reserve The Wine News | Wine Country This Week | Wine Lover's PageUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.Oregon Oregon Wine, Oregon Wineries (Oregon Wine Board) |
