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.
Northstar 2003 Stella Maris Red Blend Columbia Valley
90 points - Wine Spectator - June 15, 2006
Smooth, round and polished, with a plush feel to the currant, plum and creamy oak character, lingering beautifully on the fine-grained finish, hinting at black olive as the flavors persist.
Northstar 2003 Syrah Columbia Valley
91 points - Wine Enthusiast - June 1, 2006
The first-ever Northstar Syrah, it’s 100% Syrah, yet and fits in perfectly with the house style. Supremely smooth and satiny, the voluptuous mouthfeel focuses on sweet, plumy fruit slathered in chocolate. It’s delicious but made in very limited quantities (sold only at the winery and to the winery club members.)
Northstar 2003 Merlot Columbia Valley
- “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.
