D2 Columbia Valley Merlot Blend

#columbiavalley #washingtonstate 58% #merlot 35% #cabernetsauvignon 6% #cabernetfranc and 1% #petitverdot

Spicy

Delightful in every manner

A consistent favorite with initial bright raspberries then undercurrent of orange and spice

At the start Intense but juicy fruit - dark cherries, blackberries, plums followed by chocolate and tannins that then dominate a long finish

A balanced blend of fruit and pepper on the nose. The pallet opens up into a rich, dark, jammy body with impeccably balanced acid and tannin. This is an amazing blend!

Tasted more of the cab than anything else.

Smells of cocoa and wood spices. Tastes of red currant and herbs.

smooth oaky nose. blueberry, sour cherry. surprisingly bold acidity. very light tannins.

Nice if a bit fruit forward and jammy. Very consistent year over year
