Columbia Valley
2019 Limited Release Block 9 Merlot
Much of the fruit for our Block 9 Merlot is sourced from vineyards with particularly course, sandy soils. These conditions are seemingly lifeless and inhospitable, yet produce a wine with dark, sinewy layers of flavor and concentrated fruit. Light pepper notes provide a top-end flourish to accompany the long finish.
