Merlot, Columbia Valley

Merlot, Columbia Valley Wine Details
Price: $22.00 per bottle

Description: Blended from several vineyards within the Columbia Valley. 2004 was another very warm vintage of dry, sun-filled days. Yields were below average. The grapes were hand-picked under ideal harvest weather. A Merlot base enhanced with Cabernet Franc. We crafted this wine to drink earlier than our vineyard-designated releases, seeking seeking softer tannins and very broad, full flavors. Cabernet Franc adds softness and complexity, and a light note of violets. The aroma is of red plum and black rapsberry fruits surrounded by sweet oak tones of spice and vanilla.
