January 4, 2013 - Popped and poured. Certainly improved with time. Acidity was vibrant immediately, but calmed with more time. Nice notes of red fruits and very smooth

4/13/2012 (link) **** points(Fielding Hills Merlot RiverBend Vineyard Wahluke Slope) A moderately aromatic wine with stewed raspberries, red currant, mocha, mint, and sweet spices. The palate is big and bold with rich red fruit flavors, soft tannins, and a tart, cranberry filled finish. A compelling, full throttle expression of Washington Merlot. 94% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Syrah. Aged 19 months in American and French oak (68% new). 16.12% alcohol. 164 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.
