This could possibly be our best Merlot to date. Flavors include black berries,sweet cherries, rosemary blossoms, dark fruit, roasted coffee beans, and dark chocolate that just melts on the tongue.
This Merlot really packs a punch. It was aged in Hungarian Oak for over 27 months. This really brings out a vanilla bean spiciness that will definitely get your attention.

Our newest vintage is succulent and rich. Deep, dark purple inky color leads way to loads of blueberries and sweet cherries with a vanilla, cinnamon spice finish.

2007 vintage received:

Our head winemaker, Steve Anderson, chose the best barrels of wine for this delicious Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.  First he decided on Applegate and Columbia Valley as the regions for the origin of the grapes this time around.  Then he aged the wine for about 29 months in French and American Oak.  Then he blended the wine together from the best barrels.  The aroma reminds me of chocolate covered blueberries.  The flavors consist of cocoa powder, dark chocolate and blueberries.  This wine is medium bodied, medium alcohol level with nice smooth tannins to round out the finish.  Our Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon needs to be decanted so open it, wait a few hours then enjoy!   Save this for a rainy day in a few years and it will be even more delicious.
