2014 Merlot Columbia Valley

This release of our acclaimed Merlot represents a warm vintage of even ripening. Aromas of plum, candied cherry and molasses merge with delicate notes of black licorice and malted chocolate. Bold red and dark fruit – tart cherry and cassis – lead to a long finish of almond, tea leaf and black raspberry.

Wine Profile
Ratings
"The 2014 Columbia Valley Merlot is a ripe, black fruit, plum, leafy herbs and mineral-scented effort that has medium to full-bodied richness, moderate mid-palate depth and tons of upfront charm." The Wine Advocate - 90 Pts "The aromas bring notes of dried herb, vanilla bean, wood spice and black cherry. The flavors are rich and luscious, supported by plump ripe tannins. The finish lingers." S.S. Wine Enthusiast, 91 Pts.
