SEVEN HILLS WINERY
Wine Spectator 93 on
Seven Hills Vineyard Merlot 2000!

Seven Hills received what I think is their first 93 point score from Wine Spectator in yesterday's Wine Weekly (8/1/02).

The Seven Hills Merlot Seven Hills Vineyard 2000 ($29.99 at Avalon) won kudoes from Harvey Steiman of Wine Spectator, who said:

Seven Hills Winery
Merlot Seven Hills Vineyard 2000
93 points

"Long a supplier of grapes to some of Washington’s top wineries, this vineyard has been impressing with its own wines. This plump, generous, well-focused red has yummy currant, blueberry and cherry flavors, framed with extrafine tannins and spreading extravagantly on the finish. Drink now through 2007.—H.S."

In the interest of clarity, we would like to note that Seven Hills Vineyard does not belong to Seven Hills Winery. The wine reviewed above was made by Casey McClellan at the Seven Hills Winery with fruit purchased from Seven Hills Vineyard.

Wine Spectator also gave 90 points to Seven Hills for their Klipsun Cabernet Sauvignon recently.($29.99 on sale at Avalon).

1999 Seven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon
Columbia Valley Klipsun Vineyard
90 points
Wine Spectator says: "Dark and brooding, this dense Cabernet is packed with currant, plum and exotic spice aromas and flavors, which echo beautifully, picking up just a kiss of spicy oak on the long finish. Best from 2004 through 2009. 500 cases made. (HS)"
