Price rise. With broad flavors of berry and chocolate, this is pleasant and undistinguished. This does not have the weight or varietal presence of the winery’s Merlot. 1 Note

This is the first vintage made after Chalone purchased the old Staton Hills winery and renamed it Sagelands, and it’s clear that improvements are being made. This is spicy and herbal, with ripe but not overripe fruit. The winemaking is straightforward and the flavors clean, with some dill and herb. 1 Note

The fruit is juicy, very tart, leaning toward cranberry and pomegranate, maybe some pie cherry too. Tasty, snappy wine, young and acidic, refreshing and clean. Good potential. 1 Note

This remains one of the better Washington Merlots for lovers of ripe berry and cherry fruits, slathered with a liberal amount of chocolaty oak. Flavors are nicely integrated, with hints of bacon, smoke and ham. A friendly, tasty bottle of wine. 1 Note

The second release of this vineyard designate. This is several steps up from the generic reds that characterize the lineup. It’s got more focus and stuffing, more density and texture, than anything else. There’s an interesting mushroom component. The fruit is tight and tart, and the acids a bit flush. This is not a particularly elegant wine, but it hangs in there with extended flavors, finishing with toasted almonds. 1 Note
