Reviews and Ratings

Wineboy rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

a smooth Merlot with suggestions of classic fruit. Some residual sugar here. Somewhat reserved in it's style.
From the Columbia Valley in Washington, Hogue's Genesis Merlot (2013) is a crowd pleaser with its ripe, rich black plum, blackberry and smokey spice and vanilla. Tannins are soft and the wine is easy to drink. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
