“Exceptional!" "Piercing clear aromas of boysenberry fruit shine out from ancillary notes of ground coffee, barrel spice and lavender potpourri. Brisk acidity gives the wine a delightfully fresh feel, and controlled tannins help frame the wine in the mouth. The finish retains excellent fruitiness, and the lingering pucker of the tannins is relatively soft. This is an unusually appealing Merlot, with great fruit essence and good complexity.” Oregon Wine Report, Summer 2005.

“Outstanding! Concentrated aromas of dried plums, roasted meat, dried wood, vanilla, black raspberry and smoke - nicely complex! Smooth mouthfeel carries forward and well focused flavors of spicy plums and sweet raspberries, backed by firm acidity and very nicely controlled tannins. This is a well made, flavorful syrah that offers nicely focused and bright fruit with a nice, fresh feel (thanks to the balanced tannins). Cook’s Choice: Bright, flavorful fruit makes this a great match for big, flavorful food!” Oregon Wine Report, Spring 2005.

“Zerba’s Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2002, sourced from the region’s famed Seven Hills and Pepper Bridge vineyards, is a sexy wine: succulent yet sleek, lithe yet indulgent. It’s got well-integrated wood, a sinful hint of cocoa powder to the nose, juicy blackberry (both ripe and tart) on the palate and warming cloves on the finish?” Katherine Cole, The Oregonian, March 2005.
