Description
Hogue's Genesis line of wines is geared to creating expressions from classic grape varieties - in this case, Merlot. Had the name Genesis actually alluded to the famous alt-rock band, perhaps it would be a nod to their 1976 song 'Dance on a Volcano,' not only because the soils in Columbia Valley actually contain volcanic rock, but also because this wine erupts with rich berry-fruit, spice and smoke.

Tasting Notes
Aromas of huckleberry, herbs and spice are fresh and focused. The fruit flavors are concentrated, with a supple feel and soft tannins. It displays a good sense of balance. Editors' Choice. Score - 90. (Sean P. Sullivan, Wine Enthusiast, March 1, 2016)
