2021 Merlot

Columbia Valley 

Washington Merlot is distinctive from any other Merlot. It is big, warm, bold, and fruity combined with powerful, but soft, round tannins. Sourced from Red Willow and Les Collines Vineyard, this Merlot is aged for 18 months in Hungarian and French oak barrels. It’s time to bring back the reputation of this variety, and I am sure Washington Merlot will do it!

James Suckling  90 pts.
A ripe and dark-fruited red showing aromas of black cherries, black plums, dark chocolate and tobacco. Full-bodied, dense and polished, if straightforward. Drink now or in the next few years.
