2020 Merlot Columbia Valley

Ripe berries and black plum with clove, forest and leather greet the nose. Dark fruit notes are echoed on a moderately weighted palate with smooth tannins. Dried herbs and chocolate ganache are layered with juicy ribbons of huckleberry and strawberry that remain throughout a plush finish.

Wine Profile
Ratings
"A savory mix of crushed cherries, blackberries, sage and sweet lavender keeps me coming back to the 2020 Merlot again and again. This is round and soothing with velvety textures lifted by brisk acids, as tart red fruit and savory inner spice add tension toward the close. It leaves a staining of primary concentration, as echoes of blueberry and wild herbal tones slowly face over a coating of gently grippy tannins." Vinous, 94 pts.
