Wine Enthusiast“90 Points" 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon: “This is essentially a mirror image of the 2004 Donedei Merlot. It brings the same dark, smoky, espresso-loaded scents and flavors, but it is sleeker, the acid more apparent (although actually a bit lower) and the tannins left to hang on the finish. This is a fine companion to the Merlot, but needs a juicy steak or rich sauce to cut the tannins.” – P.G.

“91 Points” 2004 Merlot: “Thick, chewy, dense and powerful. The blend is 75% Merlot, 15% Cab Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. A very fine effort, it’s smooth and supple with alcohol listed (somewhat surprisingly) at 13.5%. Scents mix mocha, espresso, liquid smoke, iodine and black licorice; flavors also run to black and smoky. But there is fruit as well, deep black cherry and cassis, tightly packed and lingering.” – P.G.

Grand ReveCarolyn Lakewold chosen for Force Majeure Vineyards (previously known as Grand Reve Vintners) Collaboration Series

Donedei winemaker Carolyn Lakewold has been chosen by Force Majeure Vineyards (previously known as Grand Reve Vintners) to participate in a collaborative winemaking project utilizing fruit from renowned vineyard Ciel du Cheval, located in the famed Red Mountain AVA. Known for her powerfully elegant wines, Carolyn produced the only Merlot in the series. A "dream team" of Washington winemakers was carefully selected to work with the fruit farmed specifically for this exclusive project. The winemakers include Ben Smith of Cadence, Mark McNeilly of Mark Ryan Winery, Ross Mickel of Ross Andrew Winery, and Chris Gorman of Gorman Winery. Available in extremely limited quantities, the wines showcase the finesse, balance and complexity of Ciel du Cheval fruit. Read more...
