Merlot joins forces with 15% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot to put on a dazzling aromatic show of dark raspberry, citrus, wet slate and crunchy dry leaves. With silky tannins and flavors like blackberry, black tea and orange peel, this medium-bodied wine is a smooth sipper.

Lots of ripe black cherries, loamy earth, and spicy oak notes emerge from the 2020 Merlot Columbia Valley, an incredibly charming, fruit-loaded, medium-bodied Merlot that's nicely balanced. It's going to drink nicely for 7-8 years. The blend is 82% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Malbec and Petit Verdot.
