The 2004 “Intuition” Reserve Red Wine (175 cases) is composed of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 14% Petit Verdot, and 8% Cabernet Franc from two vineyard sources. The wine was aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak. Opaque purple, it offers brooding aromas of pain grille, pencil lead, truffle, black currants and blackberry liqueur. Dense and packed into a full-bodied frame, it has loads of ripe black fruit flavors and enough structure to support a decade of cellaring. It should provide pleasure through 2037. I tasted some impressive 2006 barrel samples at Bergevin Lane. Particularly noteworthy is a Petit Verdot from the Stone Tree Vineyard in the excellent Wahluke Slope AVA. It has (95-98 point) potential were it to be bottled separately and not blended into a Bordeaux-styled wine. During my tasting trip I tasted several other equally meritorious Petit Verdots at different venues.Bergevin Lane, located in Walla Walla, is owned and operated by Annette Bergevin and Amber Lane. Based on what is in the bottle and in the barrel, these young women are off to a flying start.Tel. (509) 526-4300; www.bergevinlane.com
