2004 Merlot rated 89 pts.

Barnard Griffin's 2004 Merlot, tulip label, was rated 89 pts by Wine Spectator magazine.

"In my opinion, the finest Merlots are coming off the Wahluke Slope, a warmer area with great, well-draining soils and absolutely beautiful Merlot. The Red Mountain bench also produces stunning Merlot."

2004 Cabernet Sauvignon rated 89 pts.

Barnard Griffin's 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon, tulip label, was rated 89 pts by Wine Spectator magazine.
