BARREL SELECT Merlot - Columbia Valley

BARREL SELECT Merlot - Columbia Valley Wine Details
Price: $27.99 per bottle

Description: 2003 was a hot year & the Merlot came in ripe, dark & structured. The Cab Franc & Malbec in this blend add depth, dimension & overall complexity to the big, dark fruit flavors of the Merlot. The wine was barrel aged for 21 months in 90% new French oak. Bold & dramatic, the wine will nevertheless accompany well many rich meals, & should age gracefully for five to ten years. Silver Medal - Pac Rim Int'l Wine Comp.
