External Reviews for Reininger Merlot
This mix of Pepper Bridge, Seven Hills and Ash Hollow fruit includes 16% Cabernet Sauvignon and a splash of Malbec. Two thirds of the barrels were American oak. Still resolving, it shows some chewy, herbal, slightly bitter edges around softer, moderately ripe and plummy fruit.
The wines featuring Bordeaux grapes begin with the 2005 Merlot (which contains 6% Cabernet Franc). It was aged for 23 months in 33% new French and American oak. It displays an enticing nose of cedar, mineral, tar, cassis, and black currant. Easy-going and plush on the palate, this well-balanced, savory effort has enough structure to evolve for 1andndash;2 years and will drink well from 2011 to 2017. Reininger Winery opened its doors in 1997. The wines are made by Chuck Reininger with lots of family help with operations. The Reininger label is reserved for wines produced with Walla Walla grown grapes while the Helix label, reviewed separately, is used for Columbia Valley fruit.
Focused and juicy, with delicious cherry and pomegranate flavors, shaded with nice hints of tobacco and tar as the plush, savory finish expands. Drink now through 2013.
