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

Winemaker: Jan Mathison
Clear deep garnet. This Washington Merlot is a bit shy at first but once it gets to know you, it starts opening up. The fruit is ripe and forward with plum and cinnamon...fruit compote comes to mind. Ture to the merlot varietal, the texture is rounded with medium to full body mouthful.

Cougar Crest Winery

(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.

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 ...

The French call the Merlot Grape "young blackbird," for the berries' dark hue. This is a bold wine that belies its elegant core by layers of black cherry, dark chocolate, cola, and hints of tarragon and mint. A toasty vanilla finish leaves one feeling like a seductive spell has been cast.

Equus Run Vineyards

(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Cynthia Bohn
The 2006 Equus Run Merlot has a pleasing red currant berry color and soft nose of thyme and rosemary herbs. On the palate are fruit notes of deep ripe plum and black cherry with an undercurrent of earthy mineral. The tannins from the contact with the skins during fermentation and with the oak during the twelve-month aging period make their presence known. Along the tannins, there is a little heat on the finish- a clue that there is some alcohol in this juice. The Merlot is popular with wine drin...

(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Heidi Peterson Barrett
The 2007 harvest was characterized by its split personality. After a moderate summer, a burst of heat in early September led a number of wineries to pick earlier than usual. However, the harvest stalled due to a dramatic cooling off period in mid September. When it resumed later in the month, our vineyards clearly had benefited from the extended hang time. The later harvest allowed an optimal ripening period for our Merlot and Cabernet Franc blocks, which we picked just before heavy rainfall str...
