 wa94
The deep, rich 2002 Merlot is not up to the level of the 2003, although it does possess fabulously complex notes of scorched earth, chocolate, espresso roast, and meaty black cherries, currants, and plums.

Canoe Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Immediately the senses are drawn into the glass by effusive aromas of blackberry, anise and spice. Flavors of dark cherry, currants and cocoa intertwine in an elegant dance that lingers across the palate and finishes with a hint of coffee on the back of the tongue. Firm tannins support the ... more
