    2005 Evolution View Label
  • Appellation: Columbia Valley
  • 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

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

  • Rock Island Red is the wine that keeps our customers coming back. This well-balanced red table wine contains Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. 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.

    		Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery
    2004 Ethos Merlot
  • Appellation: Columbia Valley Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery (Woodinville, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Bob Bertheau
  • “This is the pinnacle Merlot from the vintage, incorporating our personal expression of “old world” style, while showing off the power of Washington fruit. The wine is complex but fruit is the star of the show. Black cherry, plum, cocoa, leather, cedar and dried herb aromas lead to a rich palate with velvety, elegant tannins. This Merlot should age gracefully for 8-10 years easily.”
