    Januik Winery
    2005 Merlot, Klipsun Vineyard View Label
  • Appellation: Red Mountain Januik Winery (Woodinville, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Mike Januik
  • Our 2005 Klipsun Vineyard Merlot is a wine we think measures up to previously acclaimed vintages, including the 2004, 2003 and 2002 (rated by Wine Advocate 90 , 94 and 93 respectively). With only 248 cases of this beauty produced, chances are it won’t last long. Rich and lush, ripe and juicy, this is a fruit-forwarded wine scented with raspberry, chocolate and vanilla. What’s not to like about Merlot this seductive?

    Forgeron Cellars
    2007 Klipsun Merlot View Label View Label
  • Appellation: Red Mountain Forgeron Cellars (Walla Walla, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Marie-Eve Gilla
  • Ideal Spring 2007 conditions lead into slightly lower but uneven Summer temperatures. Slightly cool, yet perfectly sunny and dry Fall weather allowed for flavor development, acid balance, and ripeness. 2007 is an excellent vintage for Merlot with balance to allow for a decade of aging.

    The Motto of our 2007 Klipsun Merlot is "Go Big or Go...Bigger"! Our second Klipsun Vineyard-designate Merlot is the essence of Red Mountain with its intense, bold structure that still maintains a fruit-fo...

    Andrew Will Winery
    2008 Ciel du Cheval View Label
  • Appellation: Red Mountain
  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Andrew Will Winery (Vashon, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Chris Camarda
  • This wine is currently the front runner in this release. The blend of structure, power and depth made the wine the favorite in a recent tasting of ten vintages of Ciel du Cheval (the much maligned 2000 vintage was second….so much for ideology). The wine is immediately expressive as well as fully in control of the austerity this vineyard always shows.
