Milbrandt was started when the vineyard owners realized a good thing was happening with the grapes they sold and started making wine too..they still sell to some great winemakers like Chateau Ste Michelle and Charles Smith Located in the middle of Washington state wine country.
Pinot Grigio 2007 the weakest of the bunch...very subtle, mineral and a quick finish.
Chardonnay 2006 a touch earthy on the nose, lots of chardonnay fruit and no ML but it was pretty viscous from the warm climate fruit.
Riesling 2006 soft, a touch diesel and really very good for washington state...Dr Loosen thought this was good enough to put a large part in his Eroica bottling with Ch. St Michelle
Merlot 2006 as much as I like cool climate merlot, see Truchard and , this one came off as a little vegetal for me. soft red fruits but not the grip that you need from this type of merlot.
Legacy/ strike that it is now know as The Estates because Jess Jackson had copyrighted the name and was going to sue...The Estates is cab predominately.. beautiful nose of tea and pencil and dark fruits..sweet fruit on the palate and a nice long finish.
