Winemaker's Tasting Notes:
This
Columbia Valley Merlot has wonderfully complex and earth aromas of red cherries, plums, and herbs, and is framed in with spicy, chocolaty notes from the oak. This is a very elegant, restrained Merlot, and will pair well with fresh beef and lamb. This wine should age gracefully for the next eight to ten years.
