The 2004 Merlot Reserve is purple-colored with aromas of cedar, spice box, cassis, and black currants. There is more follow-through on the palate but the flavors are a bit austere. Columbia Crest, owned by Ste-Michelle Wine Estates, has long been known for the quality of its value priced wines.Tel. (509) 875-2061; www.columbia-crest.com

This is Merlot has just 10% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. A legitimately dark and concentrated wine with plenty of spine and chewy tannin, this has ripe cranberry, cherry and red currant fruits dominate; the chocolatey oak is moderately applied. 4,000 cases were made.——P.G.(5/1/2008)—— 88
