In Reply to: RE: Merlot tasting... posted by mkuller on July 20, 2017 at 10:49:21
I'm not surprised that you would like the WA wine. No doubt we are a better place to grow
the grape. California had done as much damage to the grapes reputation as the movie.
What surprises me is that you prefer a Zin. A grape that holds no interest for me at all.
It's always intriguing how people are so different from one another.
I just bottled my first non wine club merlot a few weeks ago. I'll only sell it in my tasting rooms for now. Just to see how it's received.

...probably not suited for WA, but you should try a good Turley or Bedrock and it may change your mind.
Not suited to WA at all. Yet a few always try.
I went to ZAP a few years ago and tried them all. Alcohol too high, residual sugar too high. Too fruit forward. Just not my thing. I would say that Turley was one of my favorites at the event.
I remember liking Brown Estate also.
...is one of my favorites.
Obviously, you have good taste.
What I like about zins is that because of the fruit you can drink them without food (or with) and the good ones are pretty complex.
I don't mind the alcohol - I like big wines.
Hahahaha.
And thats why I don't like them. I mostly drink wine with food. I am anti-big wine.
See...we are on the same page, just opposite ends!
...Robert Parker never reviewed your wines :-)
I like more subtle ones, too - like some of my wife's chardonnays, a rose by the pool and even pinot noirs, but not the light kool-aid style.
Luckily for me, he hired someone else to do Washington. But that person keeps changing and I don't have a subscription so I don't even know how I did this year.
I have to say, I hate his Pinot. Its an affront to the grape in my opinion. And I don't like the international style of winemaking that he has promoted.Not at all. I know I'm fighting against the tide, but you know, I have a 50 year old turntable here waiting to restore so I am not exactly on top of things.

Parkers. I think its mostly his brother in laws but Mr Parker is one of the owners: Beaux Feres'
in Oregon. Big big Pinot
...I like theirs - I have tasted their $80 and the $100 a couple of years ago. They are big - I liked the $80 one better.
I think Robert Parker is only involved financially.
I had a 90pt WS Argyle Oregon pinot and it was like kool-aid - didn't interest me.
