Award: OutstandingReview: " The estate Roza Hills Vineyard provides the fruit for this youthful blend Cab Sauv (52%) and Merlot (48%) that's easy to like. An inviting nose of gentle oak, raspberries, cordial cherries and seriveberries leads to a subtle richness on the palate that grows. It is juicy blackberries throughout, joined by some black tea and warm tannins. There's some youthfulness to this that should be terrific with sirloin or an oily fish such as salmon.

Accents of orange marmalade and a touch of spice give some complexity to the sweet and almost sugary core. Sufficient acidity keeps the wine from being cloying. While not complex or layered, it is an exemplary after-dinner sipper, with or without cheese. GOOD VALUE "Competition / Event: 2010 Northwest Palate Magazine - 3

He turned out a delicious off-dry white that includes Chenin Blanc (17%) and features of bouquet of apricot, honey, lychee, rose water, jasmine and flannel. There’s more apricot and gorgeous tropical tones in the juicy, fat and round palate with some mouth-watering acidity and a finish of Southern-style sweet tea. The residual sugar is high (6.6%), but it’s not a distraction. Suggested food includes Mongolian beef. "Competition / Event: 2008 Wine Press Northwest - 1
