Northstar Merlot 1998

Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesA collaboration between long-time Washington winemaker Gordon Hill and acclaimed California winemaker Jed Steel, Northstar is dedicated to producing the world's best merlot with Columbia Valley grapes. Sweeter cherry cola aromas mark the nose of this pretty red. Not as polished or as soft as the preceding wine but still very impressive. Nice chocolate/mocha flavours and lovely weight and style.Tasted: 01 March 2001Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
