Very fruity and approachable, very ripe. Fruit driven. Body driven more by alcohol and tannin than acid. A very drinkable and delicious wine — 9 years ago

One of my favorite Merlots for the state of Washington. 100% merlot - 3 vineyards blended. Solid wine and not overpriced. I used to by a bottle a week or so because I couldn't control my consumption of it. :) dig it! — 10 years ago

Black cherry and ripe flavors of other red fruits, for me cranberry and strawberry. Delicious but not quite as elegant as I enjoyed in the 2017 vintage — 5 years ago

Loved this. There was a nice acidity to this which I didn’t expect. It was like a very ripe piece of citrus and had some orangey qualities to it. Very refreshing and I wish I had more. — 4 years ago

A GSM blend from Cris Cherry at Villa Creek, this is what I would call one of his entry-level wines. Doesn’t possess the depth or complexity of some of his other cuvees like High Road or Avenger, but is still really enjoyable and a great value. — 5 years ago

Purple, moderate plus pigment extraction. Floral and cherry notes in nose, not sure about black olive as someone else noted, but some herbal and barrel toast notes, yes. Flavors of cherry peel and berry with depth and length. A hint of black pepper in aftertaste after its been open an hour. Restrained acidity and alcohol, soft mouthfeel, tannins largely missing in action but not needed, just inexpressive or well hidden. Not a typical wine producer which is what makes them special; Michael typically puts his own spin on the wines he makes. Paired well with a hearty but light pork and tomato lasagna I made using a Cooks Illustrated recipe from their cookbook — 5 years ago

Still young - would let it ride for a few more years but still fine to drink now if impatient. — 6 years ago
