October 15, 2015 - As with previous, enjoyed very much. Not complicated, but solid core of blackberry, reasonable acidity, and a herbal component. Nice. Drank well up until the end.

11/13/2012 (link) *** 1/2 points(Eight Bells Winery Roosevelt Red Yakima Valley) Lightly aromatic with herbal tones and red currant. The palate is soft and incredibly smooth with supple fruit flavors and a lingering, fruit filled finish. A delightful bottle of wine at a can’t-be-beat price. 100% Merlot. Les Vignes de Marcoux Vineyard (1990 plantings). 14.2% alcohol. 177 cases produced.
