Kestrel Vintners
2004 Merlot
Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon,
Kestrel Vintners
(Prosser, WA)

(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Flint Nelson
Our 2004 selection of Merlot is an exceptionally beautiful creature. The color is inky crimson-purple. In the aroma and on the palate there are multiple layers of ripe black cherry, blackberry, black raspberry, dried blueberry, plum, fig and fresh red raspberry. The wine has a luscious quality about it, it is full bodied, complex, and boasts a lingering finish. It will most certainly leave you wanting more.

Quilceda Creek
2005 Columbia Valley Merlot
Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc,
Quilceda Creek
(Snohomish, WA)

(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Paul Golitzin
We are also very partial to our 2005 Columbia Valley Merlot. It is an excellent right-bank Bordeaux styled wine (86% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc) that reflects the personality of the vintage. Hints of lavender, smoky meat, Asian spices, and minerals enhance the black and cherry fruit. Big and seamless, this wonderfully balanced wine should mature around 2011 and age gracefully for 20 years or longer.

Daven Lore Winery

Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot
Daven Lore Winery

(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Gordon Taylor
Why is Washington Merlot so good? Perhaps the soft, easy drinking structure, coupled with the intense and welcoming blackberry and blueberry aromas. Washington Merlot's crimson red color marries with oak without being dominated by it. We all love comfort food and this is comfort wine. Daven Lore 2009 will go down in my mind as one of the best. It's bold, it's dark, with great vanilla, licorice and cinnamon notes. Blackberry, black currant and blueberry pie filling coat the glass and give a heady...

The impression on the nose is immediate with aromas of fresh cherries, cinnamon, plum brandy, mocha chocolate, fennel seed and cigar box. The array of bright nuances continues on the palate with classic “Bordeaux blend” flavors of black currants, black cherries, blueberries and mint.

We set out to make a highh quality Bordeaux right bank style wine: soft and spicy Merlot based (60%) pleasant Cabernet (30%) with some distinctive Cabernat Franc (10%). We aged it 26 months in new French barrels to provide vanilla and toast aromas. The Merlot aroma is plummy and the flavor is soft and haunting -- supple oak tannons finish along with coffee and chocolate flavors. Suave and elegant, the 2005 Raptor provides wine lovers with a smooth, round, hedonistic experience. I tend toward poe...

Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, Petit Verdot
Forgeron Cellars
(Walla Walla, WA)
--
(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Marie-Eve Gilla
Walldeaux is a non-vintage blend for more consistency and desity. Blending vintages allows a full tasting experience with complex layers from the "mature" vintages, combining with fruity, youthful and juicy mouth filling flavors from the "younger" vintages. This wine is bold and juicy with a firm structure. The full flavors and smooth tannins suggest a new-world wine while its focus and balance, dark fruit and spice flavors are definitely reminiscent of old world Bordeaux.
Acclaim: "An excellent value, this is full of plum and deep cherry flavors and shows fresh acidity. All this is set against a backbone of soft tannins. It's an Old World style of wine with New World taste, big fruit, soft tannins that meld beautifully." Victoria Lahti, Washington Wine Awards, April 2009

Winemaker: David Barringer
A hot early and mid-growing season in 2004 followed by a cool fall created a longer harvest, resulting in wines with ripe, rich flavors. Aging in mostly American oak barrels with just enough French oak in the mix, keeps the palate balanced between spice and smokiness. Rich plum fruit with floral hints of violet combined with soft tannins that develop a luscious mouth feel with a smooth finish. We like this Merlot with a deep fried artichoke hearts as starter and chocolate truffle cake for desser...

Melvado is all about great value without skipping on the good stuff. It's a deep garnet red and loaded with black fruits, hints of minerality and spicy notes. This wine feels nice and supple on the palette yet it's firm in structure making it a versatile, food friendly wine that's good with almost anything.

Although still bottle-aging for its February 2009 debut, the 2006 Ursa is showing well in its early previews. Handcrafted and blended with the same level of care and attention as our previous vintages, Ursa remains our signature wine. Combining refined balance and mouth feel, this crowd pleaser is an excellent food wine but also drinks well on its own.
