From one of the premier merlot makers in America comes another big wine that is infused with wild berries and cherries for a soft mouth feel. The finish is sweet vanilla spice of American oak. Another classic Walla Walla Valley merlot that has lovely aromas of oak, berries and cherries. The flavors are dark cherries and black peppers, with the vanilla from the oak barrel aging. Delicious raspberries and blackberries on the nose.
Fruit comes through nicely.
Tannins not overwhelming, some floral scents. Lots of blackberries, spice and oak flavors. Excellent balance of tannins, acid and fruit. Aromas of toasty oak with flavors of cherries greet the drinker, followed by a nice mouth feel and good finish. Great berries and plums introduce this wine, which has a smooth finish of spice and tobacco.
