Country: USA
Region: Columbia Valley, Washington
Description: This 2009 Columbia Valley Merlot is an excellent example of a full-bodied Washington Merlot. Ripe and concentrated, this wine strings layers of intense raspberry, complex currant and blueberry notes framed by spicy, vanilla-scented oak. Barrel aged in French oak for twenty months, this elegant wine finishes boldly with intense cherry, blackberry and plum flavors lingering nicely on the palate. The vines are grown on original, ungrafted rootstock, which provides the grapes their intense varietal character. This wine embodies a tradition of red wine excellence, ensuring a memorable tasting experience.
My take: This wine was full bodied with rounded tannins. It was a very fruity wine, with dark fruits visible on the finish. It was a deep red, purple in color. I did not have this wine with food
