"Soft, flavorful, easy drinking. Unlike what the wine maker's notes suggest, it could use more complexity and power."

Winemaker's notes
|
|
"Our Columbia Valley Merlot is soft, rich and easy to enjoy, while
offering plenty of complexity. Attractive aromas of dusty cherry,
ginger, cinnamon and cedar lead to layers of concentrated cherry
fruit flavors. This wine has the structure and fruit-driven power
that is characteristic of Washington Merlot."
