Stemilt Creek 2004 Cabernet Franc

Online Exclusive

Price $28

This is the highlight of an excellent lineup from Stemilt Creek. It brings the same smooth, round fruit forward flavors as the other wines, but adds in more details with citrus, olive and green tea flavors streaking through. The finish gets downright sexy, with a strong wash of chocolate and caramel. It’s made for immediate enjoyment rather than cellaring. — P.G. (7/1/2008)

Stemilt Creek 2004 Merlot

Online Exclusive

Price $20

This delicious wine is as soft, silky and supple as can be. The fruit is slathered in spicy, chocolaty oak, which lends some sharpness to the edges. Red berries and red licorice lead into finishing flavors of baking chocolate. But as tasty as it is when first opened, it fades quickly, suggesting that this is one to drink up rather than lay down. — P.G. (7/1/2008)

Stemilt Creek 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon

Online Exclusive

Price $26

This is so smooth that it must certainly have been micro-ox’ed. It’s chocolate on caramel, with the red fruit so effectively covered it tastes like liquid candy. As good as it is, the specificity and detail of the estate-grown fruit seems lost in a sea of chocolate. It’s definitely a wine to drink up quickly. — P.G. (7/1/2008)

Stemilt Creek 2004 Stemilt Hill Red Wine

Online Exclusive

Price $20

This is very well made, smooth and supple. The round, approachable fruit tastes of red currant, red berry, and black olive. There is a flash of heat in the back of the throat, but it offer excellent value. Unfortunately it’s very limited—just 99 cases. — P.G. (7/1/2008)
