Man, we I be impressed if the Delectable "algorithm" detects this one. Picked up a case on my wine journeys through Eastern Europe. Young kid (Tomas Tomac) from 45 min outside Zagreb who spent a couple of harvests w Jasko Graver. 50% Chard, 50% local varieties from 70 yo vines. This is his amphora effort. Developing damn nicely. — 13 years ago

The 2008 Traditions Merlot features grapes from a number of our estate vineyards in Eastern Washington's Wahluke Slope. Established in 2006, the Wahluke Slope is a sub-region within the Columbia Valley appellation. Located midway between Seattle and Spokane it is bordered by the Columbia River to the southwest and Hanford Reach National Monument to the east. The climate here is warm enough during the day to fully ripen grapes, yet cool enough at night to ensure bright acids and firm tannins. The 2008 Traditions Merlot is elegant, balanced and approachable. The nose is bright and forward with cherries, berries and plums wrapped in crème brulée and brown sugar. The flavors are a seamless blend of fruit, oak and acidity. Blend: 78% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec & 1% Barbera. — 13 years ago
