Northstar 2003 Merlot Columbia Valley
91 points - Wine Spectator - June 30, 2006
Elegant, almost aristocratic, offering subtle layers of blackberry, cherry, tar and licorice aromas and flavors, finishing harmoniously. Tannins are firm but not intrusive. This one should develop beautifully in the cellar. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2007 through 2013.
Northstar 2003 Merlot Walla Walla Valley
91 points - Wine Spectator - June 15, 2006
Broad and open, graceful not heavy, packed with licorice-scented currant and black pepper flavors, finishing with a smoky note as the fruit persists.

- “Standout Washington Merlots” - Northwest Palate - April 1, 2006
Superbly balanced wine, with aromas of toasted oak, pencil lead, and candied orange. On the palate, gorgeous black cherry fruit with hints of black tar, roses, and candied orange. Drink now or cellar 3-5 years.

The 2003 Merlot Columbia Valley displays attractive aromas of chocolate-tinged blackberries and dark cherries. Armed with excellent to outstanding depth of fruit, this dark berry-flavored wine is medium-bodied and firmly tannic.^
