Pine & Post Merlot (Washington, 2006)

Category: Merlot, ShirazMike @ 6:51 pm
No Bottle Image Available This wine is a Merlot from Washington. We each had this wine on separate occasions and we both liked it a lot. I had mine with some friends from our condo while we had cigars and all my friends really liked it as did I.  That being said…..the second time I had this wine was tonight and for some reason it did not appeal to us as much as it did before.  It was much to light to go with the meal we had and found it was easily overpowered.
$7 from Fresh & Easy
Two and a Half Trophies


  • Very light and subtle aromas of fruit.
  • Bold cherry off the start, but disappears quickly.
  • Light plumb tastes in the finish.
  • Overall mouth feel is very light and watery.
  • A bit mundane overall but not a bad wine for sharing with friends on a summer day. It is kinda like going to the movies with your sister….sure you may have a good time with her and enjoy the show but it still is a movie with your sibling.

Primarius Pinot Noir (Oregon, 2006)

Category: Pinot NoirMike @ 10:00 am
No Bottle Image Available This is a Pinot Noir from Fresh & Easy. The bottle states that this is an an Oregon Pinot, but it was actually bottled by a winery in Washington.
$12 from Fresh & Easy
Three and a Half Trophies
  • Very transparent and light in color.
  • Earthy aromas.
  • Very good mouth feel, silky on the tongue.
  • A hint of blackberries.
  • Black cherry tastes with a short finish.
  • This wine is the NBA in the late 90’s… it has a lot of redeeming qualities (M.J. is still in the league after all). It is still worth your time… but really it’s too watered down with not enough going on… it could have been much better if it were more focused.
