As soon as this wine is poured, it looks like it can’t wait to be tasted. Bright, sparkling, and deep purple in color, the wine in your glass wants you to love it. The scent of mocha jumps out of the glass and is soon joined by clove and plum, with a little cookie dough!
The fruit-forward palate is full of flavor: black cherry, ripe plum and blackberry. Raspberry, clove and caramel linger on the finish.
A deliciously rich and dry Merlot that only Washington fruit can produce. Supple and elegant, this is a barrel-matured wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared for a few years.
80% Merlot, 15% Blaufränkisch, 5% Dolcetto
Suggested Food Pairings: Roast turkey, pork tenderloin, grilled veal chops, lamb shoulder with lemon gremolata, roast duck, charred beets and herbs, and roasted tomatoes – or your favorite pizza. With medium tannin and not too much acidity, you’ll find Merlot pairs well with light meats as well as lightly spiced dark meat, cheeses, and vegan dishes.
