The dark ruby-colored 2006 Merlot Stillwater Creek Vineyard exhibits cedar, eucalyptus/menthol, spice box, and black cherry. Elegant on the palate with well-concealed fine grained tannins, this spicy, savory Merlot will blossom for another 2-3 years and drink well from 2011 to 2018. Novelty Hill and Stillwater Creek Vineyard are owned by Tom Alberg. The vineyard, located on the Royal Slope of the Frenchman Hills (way off the beaten path), was planted in 2000 and is beginning to acquire a reputation for the high quality of its fruit. A year ago the winery moved into its new quarters in Woodinville which it shares with Januik Winery. The Novelty Hills wines are made by the talented Mike Januik. This portfolio over-delivers in a very big way. Tel. (425) 481-8317; www.noveltyhillwines.com
