Description
WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
Our Columbia Valley Merlot includes grapes from Klipsun, Champoux, Obelisco and Bacchus vineyards. The diversity of these well managed vineyards provide for a full range of fruit expression which allows us to craft complex, multi-layered wine true to Columbia Valley terroir as well as the varietal character of the grapes.
TASTING NOTES:
Ripe plum, baked blueberry, lavender, toffee and espresso on the nose. It’s medium-bodied, round and plush with soft tannins and a plummy palate.
– James Suckling, 91 pts.
The aromas draw you into the glass, with notes of roasted coffee bean, incense, dark chocolate and raspberry. Plump, chocolaty flavors follow. There’s a vibrant freshness to it, though the style is plenty ripe. Editors’ Choice.
