Dark ruby in the glass. Black plum, dark berry cobbler, and a surprising wee bit of heat (that blows off quickly) on the nose. Lush, medium full body wraps a palate confirming the nose. Medium minus tannins. Juicy, medium acidity. Blackberry and a touch of graphite on the medium long finish. Classic Columbia Valley Merlot that’s the perfect New World bridge between California and Bordeaux. Will compliment a wide range of fare whether from delivery, the grill, or the master chef. Drink now while you wait for your Red Mountain or ‘16 Pomerol bottles to settle.

I shouldn't have been surprised when I popped this bottle open that it turned out to be a good wine. The best Merlots I have every tasted have come from the Walla Walla WA area. This is no exception.

Pretty darn good for a fairly inexpensive wine. Smooth, somewhat fruity. Nice for sipping and sitting in the porch.
