description: This 3,500-case boutique specializes in Merlot. The Yakima Valley bottling has a fine dark cast to it, and the fruit tends toward black cherry with extra dimensions of coffee, tobacco and smoke. There's a slight hint of earth here, too. The wine has dimension, depth and power, all in a precisely wound, tightly coiled style that says, “Age me!” Don't let the cheesy label fool you; this is seriously good Merlot. Editors' Choice.
