  Wine #16 in our weekly Washington Wine Wednesday series. We got this as part of our club allocation and have avoided it thus far. The reason? Merlot. This one surprised us and was pretty good. Nose of dark fruits and some dirt and stone. Taste showed red cherries and a fruit forward flavor. This is more refreshing than most Merlots. Wasn’t expecting much from this wine, but it delivered bold flavors and big fruit. I would definitely drink this again but am not certain I want to pay $48 for a Merlot.

  Medium ruby red. More fruit on the nose with cherries, and perfumed florals. Medium tannins (6/10) with a medium body. Well balanced palate with a woody mouthfeel. Some cassis and black cherries too. Long finish. Drink till 2030.
