2021 Merlot Columbia Valley

An enticing nose of blueberry compote and baking spice is woven with intricacies of earth and hibiscus. Generous black and red fruits open with juicy acidity on a structured palate with a moderate body, and supple, fine-grained tannins. Undertones of black olive appear throughout, with subtleties of licorice and Oolong tea as dark plum and cocoa powder linger in the finish.

Wine Profile
Ratings
"If I could mix up a batch of blueberry fruit leather with violets and bits of blood orange, it would smell just like this dazzling Merlot. Flavors of blackcap raspberries, anise and bone marrow are backed by firm, ripe fine-grained tannins and lively acidity. Drink now-2035." Cellar Selection. M.A., Wine Enthusiast, 94 pts.
