BFM Stone Tree Vineyard Merlot Blend

Black cherry, coco, and coffee notes on the nose are seductive and indicative of the relative youth of this vintage. On the sip, all those flavors come through, especially the black cherry. In addition some black plum, tobacco and vanilla come through. Yum!

rich, intense, full but doesn’t deliver with a whollop- grave and elegance maintained here. ripe bing cherry, black berry, with some dried berry notes. mineral undertones medium tannins and acid.

Tasted this against 3 other American Bordeaux blends, all 3-4 years older and the 2010 BFM was by far the most drinkable. Beautifully round fruit and supple tannins make this wine remarkable for its craft. BFM = blow your fucking mind!

There are precious few Merlot dominant BDX blends from WA that are this damn good! We could just call this a varietal Merlot (it is 75% Merlot in the 2012 vintage), but we don't. There is just enough of the other BDX grapes (especially the 4% Petit Verdot) to throw their weight around and give the color, aroma and finish huge chops. Big blackberry and leather on initial palette, chased by hints of coco, baking spices and cherry. Stoney and reserved on the nose still. I said it the other day, this is much too young to drink; it can go for several years still.

Big grippy tannins, blackberry, ripe cherry, hints of pepper, tobacco, and baking spices. This is MUCH to young to drink now, in my opinion. Give it a few years, or 10. :)

Amazeballz! I knew it would take a few years of sittibg to come into its own... Drink now till 2023!

AS little bit jammy, but not too much. Wonderful red plum and hints of pepper on the finish. Sooo good!

From the walluke slope 70 merlot 15 Cabernet Sauvignon and 13 Cabernet franc 2 petit Verdot. Stone tree vineyard, sweet tobacco spice dark cherry red currant berry fruit fine tannins with lovely freshness notes of olive and floral loamy earth notes. Most excellent

Nice WA State blend.

A nice cab, with great Cabernet flavor.
