A delicious red with enveloping layers of mulberries, black cherries, chocolate and coffee beans. It’s full-bodied with broad, berry-soaked tannins. 82% merlot and 18% cabernet sauvignon. Drink now or hold.

The 2021 Merlot Columbia Valley (there's 18% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend) is deep ruby/plum-hued and has a rock-solid perfume of red plums, leather, savory herbs, and a hint of iron. It's certainly a darker, more inward wine compared to the Red Blend, and it’s medium-bodied and focused, with fine yet building tannins and outstanding length.

This lush, medium-bodied Merlot (with 18% Cabernet Sauvignon) strikes first with black cherry and mint tea aromas that will perk you right up. Next up, the wine's chocolate-covered cherry, shortbread and cedar flavors hang on a wall of sturdy tannins. I tried this Merlot with a Kansas City-style pulled pork sandwich and it was a nice match.
