2004
Waterbrook Mélange
USA, Washington, Columbia Valley
Starting to mellow out. Tannins were in check. Decent mouthfeel and a touch of spice. Would purchase again.

2005
Chateau St. Jean Chardonnay
USA, California, Sonoma County
Old standard. Not as buttery as past vintages. More apple notes. Good QPR year after year. Would purchase again.

2003
Red Sky Merlot
USA, Washington, Columbia Valley
Wine was served in odd shaped thick lipped glasses. Have a feeling that it took something away from the overall impact of the wine. However, it was still drinking nicely. Aromas of fresh popped popcorn along with a nice drizzling of butter. Tannins were well resolved and the mouthfeel was balanced and smooth. Bit of red fruit and aok on the palate. Was surprised at the alcohol level (15.31%) as the wine did not seem hot or over the top in any way. Would purchase again.
