Winemaker's Notes

Washington state’s Columbia Valley yields some of the most flavorful full-bodied red wines in the world.  Our Merlot encompasses everything we love about this grape.  Featuring fruit from some of the warmer sites in the state, this Merlot is a ripe balance of body and tannins.  The fruit from this region is wonderfully balanced – just right for crafting young drinkable wines.
