Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

Our Columbia Valley Merlot is soft, rich and easy to enjoy, while offering plenty of complexity. Attractive aromas of dusty cherry, ginger, cinnamon and cedar lead to layers of concentrated cherry fruit flavors. This wine has the structure and fruit-driven power that is characteristic of Washington Merlot.

The Vineyards

• Sourced from Columbia Valley vineyards in eastern Washington including our Cold Creek and Canoe Ridge Estate vineyards, as well as vineyards on the Wahluke Slope.
• Columbia Valley vineyards lie in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains and receive just 6-8 inches of rainfall annually.
• Warm, sunny days and cool evening temperatures create ideal conditions for intense aroma and flavor development in the ripening grapes.
• Sandy soils with low fertility and low water-holding capacity enable precise control of vine growth.
