The 2007 Merlot Stillwater Creek Vineyard is more deeply colored with aromas of balsam wood, espresso, cassis, mocha, and black currant. Pleasant and easy-going on the palate with no hard edges, it will drink nicely over the next 5-6 years.
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 has acquired 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. Every recommended wine in the portfolio is a very good to outstanding value.
