Wine of the Week - 2004 Hogue Genesis Merlot

Mike and Gary Hogue were pioneers in the Washington wine industry, but sold to the Canadian wine giant, Vincor. Even though Hogue has grown to over 500,000 cases, they still make good wine. The 2004 Hogue Genesis Merlot has good fruit flavors and is mouth-filling. Even though it has a slightly tannic finish, it just flows so smoothly into your mouth and for $10 you can't go wrong.
