What to Expect

Merlot has gotten a bad rap as of late but there is no denying the wine's appeal. Packed with deep, dark berry fruit and nuanced hints of cocoa, herb and earth with a soft structure. Its velvety texture makes Merlot instantly appealing and an obvious alternative to similar, more tannic Bordeaux varieties.

Reviews

WinoWorld

As Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were floating down the Columbia nearly 200 years ago, they gazed at some hills in the eastern Columbia Gorge and thought they looked like an upside-down canoe. Turns out the ridge is a great place to grow grapes, and now Chateau Ste. Michelle is taking full advantage with one stellar release after another. This is bursting with aromas of plums, espresso and pipe tobacco and flavors of rich, ripe fruit. Bold acidity and aggressive tannins give this age-worthiness.

Blend: 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon This is our refined and elegant Merlot with plenty of Washingtonconcentration. The 2004 bottling exhibits complex aromas ofblack cherries, leather, dried herbs with dusty, restrained tannins.This wine showcases that perfect Horse Heaven appellationbalanced style. The bottom line is that Canoe Ridge Estatereally does Merlot right! Try this one with chicken parmigiana or a pork tenderloin. - Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker
