Waterbrook Winery Melange 2004
Red Wine
from Columbia Valley, Washington
winemaker's notes:
Ripe and plump, generous with its spicy, mocha-scented cherry and blackberry flavors, persisting smoothly through the long, harmonious finish." Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Franc.
"Fresh and lively, open in texture, with blackberry and red pepper aromas and flavors, picking up an earthy note as the sweet fruit persists on the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and others. Drink now through 2010. 18,000 cases made." ~ The Wine Spectator
"Released quite young, this grapy red blend is a perennial favorite, for it mixes well-sourced grapes and substantial flavors of Washington-grown fruit at a modest cost. 40% Merlot, 32% Cab, 11% Cab Franc, 9% Sangiovese and 8% Syrah in this vintage, and interesting blend that brings dark tar and licorice along with plum and black tea. Just the slightest taste of oak and chocolate." Wine Enthusiast, April 2006

I fortunately read a review about your wine in the Pink Magazine from Reilleys Wine & Spirits, and I have never enjoyed so many reds in one bottle. I will absolutely share this experience with everyone I know.

I randomly picked a bottle of the Melange from the menu, because it sounded exciting after reading the label. The Washington state wines have never disappointed me. A friend and I shared the bottle and it was spectacular. I highly recommend it and will certainly have another.
