October 14, 2016 - Smells of graphite, blueberries, vanilla, and spice.
Medium bodied and a little viscous, there is acid and a hint of alcohol up front, with blueberries, spice, and a mildly bitter woodsy note that finishes dry and mildly tannic.
I appreciate that the wine is not overly fruited, and I don't even mind a simpler wine's virtues, but the perception of alcohol just diminishes my enjoyment of this wine tonight. (85 for my point loving friends)1 person found this helpful Comment -

September 27, 2016 - Tasty blue/dark fruit, eucalyptus, tobacco, and something savory or almost meaty on the nose. Medium body and well-balanced in the mouth. Slightly round on the finish. I'm guessing this is at or near its peak.

March 6, 2014 - Very nice wine typical Waters. Spicy yet mellow mix of cab & merlot. Dark fruit with a very smooth finish.

12/20/2011 (link) **** points(Waters Winery Interlude Red Wine Columbia Valley) Aromas of cherry and green olive. The palate is deliciously fresh, full of cherry flavors, bright acidity, and restrained use of oak. A sleek, stylistic wine with a lot of hang time on the finish. 55% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Petit Verdot. Cold Creek, Canoe Ridge, and Seven Hills vineyards. Aged in French oak (25% new). 14.5% alcohol. 1,550 cases produced.
