  October 5, 2012 - This was wonderful. Made a roast chicken and this was perfect with it. It had some beautiful notes up front but the length was the winner. Had the fruit and tannins in perfect balance. I could drink this for days

  October 28, 2010 - Pacific Northwest Tasting Trip (Red Mountain/Walla Walla Day 1): Nose of red fruit and cinnamon.
  Palate of strawberry, red raspberry, cinnamon, and pastry.
  It was a a little disappointing on the mid palate, but the finish was nice and clean.

  June 27, 2010 - Fruity, some tannins that make you think it can age for a few years, but not intrusive, drinking well right now. Pleasant herbs on the nose. Tastes of chocolate, vanilla, and dark berries.

  April 30, 2010 - Spring Release 2010. Best merlot of the day, perfectly balanced. Drinking really nice now. Very focused merlot flavor, oak and tannins only support it and never obstruct the wine. A fine treat.
