Description:
Our Merlot holds its own with any of the other Bordeaux varieties. The grapes are from Chandler Reach, within eyeshot of Red Mountain, and Fred Artz' vineyard on Red Mountain at the far eastern end of the Yakima Valley. Grapes from these vineyards make for structured wines that might be confused with the mouthfeel of Cabernet Sauvignon, except for one thing. If I knew what it was, I'd tell you, but I'm not sure except that the "middle palate" weight of our Merlot is as Merlot-ish as you can get. No "I'll have a Merlot" light weight kind of wine, this one. It's full of black berry and cherry and is chewy ® not to excess, but definitely a wine that will be enjoyed most by folks who like to carry on a dialog with their wine. Drink it now for a quality but youthful discussion, or allow both of you to age a couple of years for a deeper conversation.
