The 2008 Merlot Klipsun Vineyard exhibits an inviting nose of spice box, incense, and black fruits but on the palate is lacking fruit on the mid-palate giving it a slightly hollow personality. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. Consistent excellence is the theme at Januik Winery where quality wines and fair prices go hand in hand. The latest collection includes two white wines.Tel.

The 2007 Merlot Klipsun Vineyard is more deeply colored and possesses greater breadth and grip. Quite intense and very lengthy, this impeccably balanced effort will evolve for 1-2 years and drink well through 2022. All Mike Januik does is make good wine, year after year, without a lot of fanfare or glitz.Tel. (425) 481-5502; www.januikwinery.com

The upper tier red wines begin with the 2006 Merlot Klipsun Vineyard. Deep crimson-colored, it exhibits aromas of smoke, spice box, black cherry, plum, and violets. Sweetly-fruited and ripe on the palate, it has excellent grip, plenty of savory fruit, and enough structure to evolve for 3-5 years. This lengthy Merlot will be at its best from 2012 to 2021. Mike Januik continues to produce wines that deliver excellent bang for the buck throughout his portfolio.Tel. (425) 481-5502; www.januikwinery.com
