Chateau Ste. Michelle Merlot 2008
Elegant and complex, with aromas of red plum, loganberry and red currant. Silky tannins balance the lively plum and berry flavors on the palate. The wine finishes with lingering toast in the background. The blend is 84% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc.
Columbia Crest Merlot 2 Vine 2009
Aromas of cola, cream soda and caramel lead to expressions of vanilla and strawberry jam on the smooth palate, flavors of spice round out the silky finish.
