Washington Wine Report
-
By Sean Sullivan
(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.

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