Deep Ruby color with aromas of berry fruits and cedar herb spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry, blueberry and plum with vanilla spice, espresso, leather and cedar herb notes. Fine tannins, slightly drying, long finish ending with fruit, toasty earthy mineral layered with sweet spicy character. Nice!

We need a Merlot renaissance in Washington. This would be a good centerpiece for that.
