Soft notes of honey, lots of apricot, and lots of savory butter on the nose. Very sweet up front, almost ripe apricots, hints of banana, vanilla, ripe white ripe fruit. Savory and slightly dry in the back. Very good wine. — 7 years ago

The Mercer Malbec looks dark ruby in the glass. The nose offers some beautiful dark fruit - plums, blackberries and currant - and sticks a lovely dose of French oak in there. A nice, savory hint of black olives lurks in the background. The palate is just as enjoyable, with a fruity focus augmented by peppery spice and cinnamon. This is a wine that will be a hit at the holiday table, no doubt. It's a festive, fun red that can hold its own with the standing rib roast. — 9 years ago

Deep gold in color.
Beautiful nose of diesel, lemons, yellow apples, spices, honeysuckle and minerals.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Off dry on the palate with apples, limes, light tropical fruits, minerals, light peaches and spices.
Long finish with lemons and light herbs.
This 13 year old Riesling from Yakima Valley is drinking beautifully now. Nicely balanced, elegant and rich. Complex and entertaining.
Still feels fresh and lively, with enough fruits to balance the acidity. Fruit forward, interesting and delicious.
This gorgeous Riesling will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
At this point, less than 15 bottles are left at the winery cellars. Very cool to try these kind of wines.
Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food.
13.3% alcohol by volume.

My kind of Cab. Dark ruby red and viscous with a grippy finish. I can’t ask for more. — 7 years ago
The color is a deeeeep blackish red. On the nose there’s aromas of plums, blackberries, lavender, mint, vanilla, and cocoa. There’s also my beloved burn from ethanol fumes. On the palate it’s medium bodied with a chalky mouthfeel, powdery tannin, and quite a bit of heat from the alcohol. There’s flavors of plums, cranberries, milk chocolate, and creamed coffee. It finishes with cranberries, creamed coffee, astringency from the tannin, and heat from the alcohol. — 9 years ago
