Northstar 2008 Merlot, Columbia Valley

A project started by Jed Steel back in the mid-90's and now part of Chateau Ste. Michelle, Northstar has gone on to become a benchmark wine from the Columbia Valley. Winemaker David Merfeld works closely with growers to achieve specific fruit quality and yields. The blend for this 2008 is 78% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot. The Wine Advocate scored it 91 points as did Wine Enthusiast Magazine who said "This wine gets the all-star treatment, blending fruit from 14 vineyards, and aging it in 60% new French oak. It's a substantial, muscular effort, with dark fruit, earth and tar components. A small addition of Petit Verdot darkens the color and thickens the tannins." Limited!
