Merlot, Columbia Valley

Merlot, Columbia Valley Wine Details
Price: $46.00 per bottle

Description: Ooh La La! Now here is a beauty of a wine that has truly captured the essence of the vineyard and terroir. One of our favorite growers, Dick Boushey, and winemaker, Marie-Eve Gilla, have worked really hard together to produce the best possible fruitand ultimately, an incredible wine. We used 6 barrels of the most exquisite fruit from Boushey vineyard to produce our very first vineyard designated Merlot. The nose is ripe with maracchino cherries, eucalyptus, vanilla, lavender and spice. In the mouth, experience rich, dense fruit of blackberries and chocolate covered cherries laced with cinnamon. This wine is incredibly balanced from start to finish. It covers your entire palate and begs you to take another sip. The finish is long and lush with no end in sight. For a complete experience, our 2004 Merlot, Boushey Vineyard calls for beef, so we suggest trying it with Beef Wellington or prime rib.
