Full oak in the nose, with some dark fruit coming through and slightly sweet. Typical of WA merlot, slightly dry, and noticeably young, needs time to get size and round out. $26
USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Walla Walla Valley
Intense fruit and big oak on the nose, slight vanilla. Hints of earth throughout as well. Lacking a full berry flavor, jammy quality that would have been nice here. Flavor is a bit weak right now, and structure seems disjointed. $43
Spice, earth tones, dark fruit, almost like Zinfandel on the nose. Bright acids and pronounced "zing" across the tongue, some jam on the midpalate. Lasting finish. Screams for meat and potatoes, red sauce. $26

USA, Washington, Columbia Valley
Too much Viognier quality, some melon, but bland finish, neither sweet or floral. $20
