Snoqualmie Winery 2007 Whistle Stop Red; Columbia Valley, WA

This wine absolutely shocked me. It was fantastic. A blend of 70% Cabernet, 30% Merlot, this wine had depth, concentration, and a nice finish. It showed great tannins on the front palate, followed by beautiful cocoa notes, cherry, cassis, and a nice sweet finish. This wine had structure that I think would allow it to develop with some bottle aging, as surprising as that is for a wine this inexpensive. I purchased it for 7.99! I would not be at all reluctant to serve this wine to anyone.
