Drank from a magnum. I am a Five Star fan and I must say I was a bit disapointed and maybe my expectations were too high. Nice wine and all, but I felt it lacked complexity and really didn't seem to benefit with the age even in the magnum.

Had this from a double magnum. Still showing a lot of the cream, vanilla, and cedar notes imparted from new oak, along with characteristic "fruits of the forest". Not my favorite style, but I can see why it would appeal to a lot of palates, and it made for a nice party

Berry flavors really came out after letting it breath for 45 minuets.

Really great merlot. Great example of a Washington merlot done well.

Tastes like red wine and very boring. Fruity, no tannin.
