Northstar 2007 Merlot Columbia Valley
- The Palm Beach Post - September 4, 2011
This wine gets my YUM award for the post. This deep, dark wine is full of juicy blackberries, blueberries and plums with hints of cinnamon and chocolate. It was one of those “jump-in-the-glass” aromas that I kept coming back to with deep inhalations. Every whiff seemed to offer something new. On the palate, the wine is lush and soft, like an oversized plush sofa that you sink into and never want to get up again. It’s medium/full on the palate with a nice balance of acidity and a lingering finish. Delicious and well worth the price!

Northstar 2008 Merlot Columbia Valley
91 points - The Wine Advocate - August 31, 2011
The 2008 Columbia Valley Merlot offers up aromas of balsam wood, spice box, tobacco, violets, cassis, and blackberry. Savory on the palate, if slightly austere, another 1-2 years of bottle should fill the wine out. It will drink well through 2023.

The 2008 Merlot Walla Walla Valley has greater density and volume. It, too, has the structure to evolve for several years and will provide optimum drinking from 2013 to 2023.
