    April 27, 2024 - Nice merlot! Open and let breathe for an an hour and enjoy. Great value.

    November 26, 2023 - This wine might not be as available at Total Wine locations across the country, but is probably available at all locations in the Pacific Northwest.

    In the United States-non Bordeaux Merlot section, they had the 2019 Januik alongside several famous Napa vintners at the sub $50 level.

    I bought the Stags' Leap (not the generally better and more expensive Stag's Leap Wine Cellars), and I felt that wine tasted as if it were watered down and lacked focus.

    The Stags' Leap was just under $40. This Januik Washington-Columbia Valley was $10 cheaper. But was more concentrated in flavor, with much better aromatics. The flavor was nice blue, red, and black fruits, wrapped in some oak.

    If you can get this for $30 or less, it's tough to imagine a better American made Merlot value.

    June 29, 2022 - Very nice. Dark red color. Bold with some French influence. Ample baking spices and alcohol. Surprised it was only 14.4%. Excellent value.
