    2005 Merlot, Seven Hills Vineyard
    Seven Hills Winery     (Walla Walla, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Casey McClellan
  • The 2005 growing season was moderate and a great Merlot vintage. The Merlot vines experienced near average temeratures during the ripening period, and rain-free harvest weather. As with all our wines, the grapes were hand-picked. This Merlot was both ripe and food-friendly, exhibiting a broad array of flavors. The mild vintage weather enhanced brightness and balance. Hints of vanilla and dried herb accent ripe red and black fruit flavors and aromas. This wine is medium-bodied, with gentle t... ...read more

    College Cellars of Walla Walla     (Walla Walla, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)

  • Merlot Blend
  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc,
    James Leigh Cellars/JLC Winery     (Walla Walla, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • This Bordeaux blend has a ruby red color and leaves silk stocking legs on the glass. Rich, rhubarb pie, mountain blackberries, red cherry and the aromas of milk chocolate make this wine a dry apertif stimulator. This is a great prelude to your meal, not overly oaked and just plain good with chicken or fish.

    Tero Estates     (Milton-Freewater, OR) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)

    Red apple peel, raspberry marmalade, strawberry patches and lavender pop to mind. White pepper, oregano and leather mingle. Red, ripe cherries and cedar cigar box are accompanied by smooth tannins and a strong, structured finish.

    2006 Merlot, Seven Hills Vineyard View Label
    Seven Hills Winery     (Walla Walla, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Casey McClellan
  • This is a very complex, delightful Merlot from some of the oldest vines in the Walla Walla Valley. The 2006 vintage's low yields gave us somewhat fuller bodied, concentrated wines than 2005; soft, but with polished structure. The abundant black and red berry fruits by nose and mouth are enchanting, with generous length and depth. The wine pairs well with a variety of foods. Our Merlot tends to age well into the 8-10 year range, under proper cellar conditions. This vintage is another excellent ex... ...read more

    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.

  • Winemaker: Jamie Brown
  • This is always our most challenging (and fun) wine to make. Our objective is to produce the most naturally balanced, harmonious and elegant red wine we can possibly make from the traditional Bordeaux varietals. The blend will change from year to year, but the style and structure will not. The wine is made from blending multiple vineyard lots and varietals, selected through meticulous, double blind blending trials (we dont know the varietal or vineyard when tasting). This is our most artisanal... ...read more

    Cougar Crest Winery     (Walla Walla, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Debbie Hansen
  • This wine opens with a ripe bouquet of bing cherry, red fruits, violets, anise, and a color that is dense, dark and ruby. Balanced acidity and mature tannins give the midplalate structure to support the lush, jammy mouth feel and the rich spectrum of fruit, spice and toasty oak that linger on the long, extended finish.

    Merry Cellars     (Pullman, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Patrick Merry
  • We chose our fruit from Walla Walla Valley because we agreed that it's the perfect spot to produce a great Merlot - silt loam and windblown glacial loess harmonize with Walla Walla's legendary climate to give this Merlot its fullness of character. Round and ripe, this wine will delight with tightly woven flavors of black cherry, currant and plum wrapped in hints of leather and oak.

  • 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...     ...read more
