“This is the pinnacle Merlot of the vintage. My goal is to shoot for an “old world” style, while showing off the power of Washington fruit. The wine delivers vibrant cherry fruit with silky, elegant tannins. We added a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec for structure, color and complexity. Setting this one down for 5-10 years is certainly possible, although opening a bottle relatively soon with some lamb chops or prime rib might be a good idea, too.”
