This vintage says, ‘Columbia Valley’, Wahluke Slope AVA, Merlot. Nothing too exciting label-wise. Kinda like the style of motel room art. Color is nice. Magenta in there with the red. Smells like rainwater, cranberry sauce, and matches. Flavors are decent. Plenty of fruit. Dry and fairly tart. A herbs and quinine streak (label says, subtle spices and bay leaf). It’s still got plenty going on 5 years in. Very drinkable. Glad to see it at Grocery Outlet. Must of been a bit too much for the crystal cruises it was made to be served on.
