  Oog: Helder, intens, kersenrood, matige doorzichtigheid, gevulde meniscus, grote viscositeit, veel gekleurde tranen.
  Neus: Zuiver en intens, aroma van zwarte bes, vlierbes, rijpe kersen, gestoofde pruimen, herfstgeur, champignons, potloodslijpsel, zachte houttoets, tabak, laurier, kruidnagel, vanille, leder.
  Mond: krachtig mondvullend met zeer ronde zachte tannines. Evenwichtige afdronk van 5-6 sec. Perfect op dronk.
  Gerecht: Rood vlees met champignons en roomsaus.

  Easy to drink. Medium body merlot with some notes of spice.

  Dark, inky, purple. Medium legs. Nose is not overpowering and smells of cherries. Hints of red grape and blackberry on the palette. Let it breathe for 30 minutes. Awesome with smoky cheeses.

  Opaque mid purple. Nose is closed tight. I was amazed to find almost no perceptible aromas when served at 55 deg. The nose opened up only slightly after spending time in the glass.
  
  On the palate, the fruit is firmly in the driver seat. Blueberry and cherry jam, vanilla and chocolate. Full bodied, low acid and weirdly sticky tannins. Simple but so eminently enjoyable one feels compelled to overlook its faults.

  Smooth well balanced Washington state Merlot. Better that average QPR year after year.
