1991 Waterbrook MerlotColumbia Valley more |
5/2/2003 - timewithwine wrote: NRFriday, May 02, 2003 Color of burgundy with brick on the rim; thick legs. I don’t usually mention legs on wine, but this wine had Hillary legs. Very full bouquet of earth and cherry pits. Medium weight with flavors of earth, cherry pits, graphite, some bitter chocolate and a long herby finish (maybe rosemary and menthol). The finish is diminished by the hot alcoholic note on the end. Alc. 12.5%. With mushroom sauce over London Broil. |

2001 Waterbrook MélangeColumbia Valley Red Blend more |
3/5/2003 - R2-D2 wrote: 89 pointsAn eclectic mix 31% Sangiovese, 25% Syrah, 23% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon. This baby just bounces all over the place with its powerful sweet blackberry, graphite, minerals, red currant, and spicey nose. The finish has some gripping acidity, but you walk away with a sense of balance. I think this retails around $10, try it! |

1996 Col SolareColumbia Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
6/16/2003 - R2-D2 wrote: 91 pointsI'm really diggin this plush nose of rich blackberries and subtle notes of violets, sweet caramel, smoke and graphite. The black fruit really coats the palate and moderate finish tails off with some slight cigar box intertwined with nuances of earth, spicey oak and smoked meat. Oh yea, this is deep purple with very slight signs of age. 1 hour in the decanter is quite perfect. Damn good deal at $16.99. |
