Merlot joins forces with 15% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot to put on a dazzling aromatic show of dark raspberry, citrus, wet slate and crunchy dry leaves. With silky tannins and flavors like blackberry, black tea and orange peel, this medium-bodied wine is a smooth sipper.

A full-bodied Merlot, intense in structure yet retains a sense of finesse, with black and red currant, savory herb and licorice flavors that finish with tannic snap. Drink now through 2028. 3,600 cases made.

Lots of ripe black cherries, loamy earth, and spicy oak notes emerge from the 2020 Merlot Columbia Valley, an incredibly charming, fruit-loaded, medium-bodied Merlot that's nicely balanced. It's going to drink nicely for 7-8 years. The blend is 82% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Malbec and Petit Verdot.
