title: StoneCap 2011 Estate Grown Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: Not sure what's going on at StoneCap, but after a couple of outstanding Merlot vintages, it seems to have lost its way in 2011. Spritzy, bitter and herbal, there's a big splash of vanilla, as if intended to cover the vegetal flavors of unripe grapes.
variety: Merlot
designation: Estate Grown
