Region | USA: WA - Columbia Valley | |||
Notes | This is a complex yet approachable Merlot. The wine offers aromas of black cherry, leather and spice with layers of rich dark red fruit flavors and a long, smooth, sweet finish. A touch of Syrah adds a jammy fruit character. This beautifully balanced Merlot is a great “any time” red wine. "Straightforward and zesty, with dried plum and licorice aromas and dark cherry and spiced herb flavors. Drink now through 2021. 129,500 cases made." (Wine Spectator) | |||
