Sweet Valley Wines
2005 Merlot View Label
  • Appellation: Walla Walla Valley
  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sweet Valley Wines (Walla Walla, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Josh McDaniels
  • Not overpowering with oak allows the true fruit of the Walla Walla Valley to shine through. Juicy cherry stands out, with a hint of vanilla close behind on the nose. This wine fills the mouth with fruits like blackberries and finishes with spices that work very well together.

  • Appellation: Columbia Valley
  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Ryan Patrick Vineyards (Leavenworth, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)

Alluring black cherry, currant and allspice aromas are followed by a clean burst of berry and cherry flavors that pair well with food. Fruit dominates, but there is a note of vanilla bean and coffee coming through the smooth and pleasant finish.

    2008 Merlot
  • Appellation: Walla Walla Valley
  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Pepper Bridge Winery (Walla Walla, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Jean-François Pellet
  • The 2008 growing season had a mind of its own. The vines starting blooming late, but ended up ripening early. Because of the compressed season, we had to work a little harder to tend our vines properly. Nonetheless, we were thrilled with the outcome. The 2008 vintage displays very supple fruit flavors, perfectly balanced with crisp acidity.

  • Winemaker: Andrew Lodmell
  • The highly complex 2007 Lodmell Cellars Merlot reveals generous notes of very ripe plum, Creme de Cassis liqueur, canned black cherry and fresh-picked yarrow leaves. These flavors are accompanied by their associated aromas, which herald the good news of what to expect from this wine on the palate. If vigorously decanted, a discreetly pronounced note of clover honey can also be detected in the wine's bouquet.
    This Bordeaux-style wine only just qualifies as a varietal Merlot, as it was masterfu...
