If any wine can blow away the thought that Merlot is a thin, wimpy, nondescript red, this is the wine. From the iconic Champoux Vineyard, it has magic and muscle, a broad and deep display of black fruits, coffee, licorice, dark chocolate, baking spices and beautifully built tannins. Explore and enjoy. ——P.G.(9/1/2011)—— 94

Sineann’s Champoux vineyard Merlot is barely out of barrel, tight, bright and spicy with sharply-defined flavors of red berries and red licorice. Though it passes 15% alcohol, it is neither sweet nor unctuous; the fine acidity cuts through beautifully. This will certainly benefit from a few more years of cellaring.——P.G.(5/1/2010)—— 91

The best of Sineann’s Merlots, this powerful effort from Washington’s Champoux vineyard brings muscle and verve to the much-maligned grape. The substantial cherry and plum fruit is buttressed with stiff tannins and plenty of alcohol, yet retains a sense of elegance. This wine won’t reach its peak for another decade.——P.G.(6/1/2009)—— 91
