Last night I opened the 2015 Baer Star Merlot Stillwater Creek Vineyard Columbia Valley. A blend of 87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc.

On the nose there is black cherry, cherry, blackberry, plum, violet, chocolate, allspice and black pepper.

On the palate there is cherry, black cherry, blackberry, red currant, licorice, espresso, and chocolate.

This wine is medium to full bodied with a velvety mouthfeel and medium to + acidity with medium soft fine tannins that leads into a long black fruit finish. The weekend is fat approaching again and lets look forward to having a great weekend. Please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 4 years ago

Jammy fruit forward jihad bomb combined with purple octopus ink color, elegant ripeness, legs like Cindy Crawford, and stinky Pepé Le Pew perfume aromatics. This bottle possessed me with the vengeance of the exorcist. — 9 years ago

Flemings for our 13th anniversary. Had again several years later. Deep purple in color. Striking and strong nose. This is a complex blend with a loyal following. Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon. I bought a 2015 from LA Wine Co in July of 2017 and opened in November of 2017. — 11 years ago

An interesting Red blend from Bethlehem.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice long legs.

Tangy finish with medium, round tannins.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, sweet cherries, vanilla, wood, earth, barnyard, vegetables, spices, smoke and dark coffee.

Soft and smooth and very enjoyable. Feels like an old world wine.

Had it blind and called Austrian red. Wrong.

Made with local grapes grown around the winery. Organic.

13% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$20. — 6 years ago

It’s Thursday but this is a Friday wine. Deep purple in colour, nose is a fruity mix of blackberry, cherry, liquorice and chocolate. Tannins are a little gripping but they allow the flavour to linger, I can taste cherries, blueberries, cloves and pepper. This is a well balanced wine which is very drinkable but no doubt will be smoother in a few years. Recommended. — 7 years ago

Deep ruby color with glints of purple. Red cherry with hints of black fruit and menthol on the nose. Mid-weight red fruit on the palate with firm, grippy tannins. Would suggest an hour decant or even better a few more years of bottle age. — 9 years ago

Everything you'd expect and more. All the rich dark fruit, chocolate and lush purple flowers, but none of the sticky over-ripe flavors. So balanced. — 8 years ago

A superb wine had in the Caribbean. Immediately from the pour you could tell that it had much vitality in it with deep ruby to purple coloration and a big wild mushroom nose. Needed surprisingly little time to open up and develop. This was my first Mouton Rothschild and wasn't disappointed to say the least. The tannins were delicate to the touch, giving the overall mouthfeel a sense of sublimity. — 9 years ago

9.6

Made with complete cluster of grapes, dark inky purple in color, smells of nail polish, white pepper, tobacco with lively but restrained acidity, firm and strong tannin, tastes of leather, salty meat, raspberry, mineral stone, mint and herb, full body with complex long finish. Really tasty! — 10 years ago

Kai Chang

9.2

Clear deep purple colour with watery rim. Clean medium intensity aroma with minty black cherry and black currant with hint of oak smokiness and vanilla. Dry on the palate full bodied medium alcohol with medium acidity and high but smooth velvety tannin. Flavours of earthy black currant, black cherry, and vanilla. Flavours last through into its long pleasant finish. Very good quality, drink now but can age for another 3 to 5 years for a even more balanced complexity. — 11 years ago
