By Sean Sullivan
(Stella Maris Red Wine Columbia Valley) A very intriguing, Merlot dominated wine that also includes substantial amounts of Syrah (12%) and Petit Verdot (11%), it’s moderately aromatic with coffee ice cream, cherry, smoke, cola, and a wealth of spices. The palate is full bodied, rich and luscious with seamlessly polished fruit flavors that linger on the finish. Brings a whole lot of wine for the money. 65% Merlot, 12% Syrah, 11% Petit Verdot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Cabernet Franc. 13.5% alcohol. 2,472 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.

Garbage nose with cough medicine to entice you. Has no resemblance to Cabernet, wine nor anything you'd want to imbibe. Where do I get a refund?

Notes of WWReport are spot on. This is one intriguing blend with a great QPR at $25. Don't hesitate to pull the trigger on this suave but complex offering from Northstar.

The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like gooseberry, blackberry and blackberry. It tastes like gooseberry, blackberry and black currant (cassis). The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

A concentrated, decently structured and balanced, fruit forward, oaky WA red blend. Not at all bad, yet nothing to get excited about.
