Hogue Genesis Merlot, 2002
Hogue has become one of the great value wine companies from Washington State Columbia Valley. The Genesis merlot offers very expressive aromatics, great depth, and a long balanced finish. The aromas are reminiscent of dark berries and dried cherries with a hint smoky oak and vanilla. This is a big merlot with a deep black fruit flavor that is inky and mouth filling. The color is dark ruby with deep black hues. This wine will stand up well to hearty pasta dishes and red meats. It is a rich wine on the palate with firm tannins and complex earthy tones. We had this cellared for the past 2 years and enjoyed it, last night, with Linguini and meatballs with marinara sauce. I originally purchased at a Washington State Liquor Store for about $10. I recommend the Genesis line of merlots as a great value in "big" Washington State merlots.
