Wow glad we opened to enjoy with a nice stuffed pork tenderloin on a Sunday night. Exxcelent flavor and stands alone -

1/29/2009 (link) *** points(Columbia Crest Grand Estates Merlot Columbia Valley) A lively nose with black pepper and spicy oak that gets quite smoky after a short bit. A rich, opulent taste marked by chocolate. Drinking very well and an excellent wine for the money. 94% Merlot; 5% Cabernet; 1% Cab Franc. 13.5% alcohol. 295,500 cases produced. Recommended.
