2008 Boom Runner Reserve Merlot

02 Apr 2010

Rating: Outstanding

Review: Since this coastal winery hit our radar last year, its wines have continued to impress us. One of its Cabs earned our top rating last fall, and now its Reserve Merlot ranks amid the best. This opens with aromas of lingonberries, black currants, black cherries and baked brie, followed by intense flavors of boysenberries and white strawberries. It's a refreshing wine with moderate tannins and plenty of food-pairing possibilities. (99 cases, 12% alc.)
