Clear dark garnet. Red berries and vanilla plum on the nose. Echoed on the medium-bodied palate. Medium acidity. Medium minus tannins. Medium short-ish dark finish. The “lighter side” of Washington Merlot for those who prefer a sipper. Still enough “stuff” there to accompany lighter “red wine” fare. Great with burgers and rice. Drink now, though.

Tastes like vinegar, pungent and bitter. Dumping the rest of the glass and bottle. Only second ever dumping wine.

Light an sippable for a Merlot. Definitely a medium body and intensity. Went well with veal cutlet with lemon and mushrooms.
