  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot
    Daven Lore Winery     (Prosser, WA) -- (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... ...read more

    2005 Merlot View Label
  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc,
    Tsillan Cellars     (Chelan, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Shane Collins
  • Deep ruby/purple in color, the 2005 Merlot is an excellent example of balance in wine. “Grippy” fruit and wood tannins give way to black cherry, toffee and smoke on the mid-palate, and a very long finish of bitter chocolate and coffee. Aged for 18 months in 70% French and 30% American Oak, this wine will mature beautifully and will come into its prime in the next 2-6 years. 78% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc.

  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc,
    Eagle Harbor Wine Company     (Bainbridge Island, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Hugh Remash
  • 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... ...read more

  • Merlot Blend
  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon,
    Harbinger Winery     (Port Angeles, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Sara Gagnon
  • While fabulous now, this Bordeaux blend is aptly named for how it will evolve gracefully with time..like Clint Eastwood! The aroma bursts with loads of Earth, deep cherry, blueberry, brier, and hints of pepper. Chewy tannins compliment the fruit without dominating the palette. While still a bit young and brash, Evolution promises to be a "Harbinger" of good things to come with a little patience. Lay this bad boy down for a year or so. Limited release of 50 cases this year, the other 90 cases to ... ...read more

  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot
    Baer Winery     (Woodinville, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • 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.

  • Merlot Blend
  • 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

  • Merlot 49%, Cabernet Sauvignon 21%, Syrah 14%, Petit Verdot 10%, Malbec 3%, Cabernet Franc 3%. This wine sparkles with bright, ruby color. The nose, ripe and forward, is an aromatic blend of violets, cassis, and black cherry. A complex palate starts with cassis, then warming to plumy cherry and blueberry fruit.
