Pamela Chiles rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This is a Washington appellation to watch - the warm Wahluke Slope is perfect for ripening Merlot, like this gorgegous, plush, Seven Falls concoction. Tasted blind, it was a wine group favourite. Plummy, smokey and rich with hints of Italian leather, sip on its own or pair with lean elk, bison or beef.

Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Beautiful deep colour on this Merlot and great flavours to match. Rich deep blackberry aromas, along with mocha and some smokiness from oak aging. Full bodied, and smooth, tannins are soft, but add structure to this wine. Dark, fruit flavours and smokiness linger, as the finish is medium to long. Great for rich red meats, maybe a prime rib or braised beef.
