Tasting Notes
The 2021 vintage provided incredibly concentrated, superb wines with smaller-than-normal yields. This extraordinary Merlot is dark ruby in color. The nose boasts vine-ripened boysenberry, huckleberry, and black raspberry backed by alluring background notes of baking spices, dark chocolate, and caramel. This hedonist’s delight takes the palate on a journey with bright, refreshing fruit, a seamless, silky mid-palate, fine-grained tannin structure, and a rich and lengthy finish. This vintage perfectly illustrates why Merlot’s favorite terroir in the world, outside of Pomerol, is the Walla Walla Valley. This stunning Merlot is one not to be missed.
