2020 Limited Release Block 9 Merlot

Big and bold, this Merlot is a giant in Washington winemaking. Sourced from Indian Wells vineyard, the dusty tannins of the medium-skinned grapes create the very core building blocks of this full-bodied wine, with layers of red and dark fruits shining through. Decant. Enjoy!
