The 2022 ‘Columbia Valley’ Merlot is a 100% varietal wine sourced from the Red Mountain, Walla Walla Valley, and White Bluffs AVAs. Toasty oak and espresso grounds mark the nose alongside chocolate covered black cherry. The palate is refined and luxurious in terms of weight, texture and structure. A stunning wine from this slightly cooler vintage, enjoy now and over the next fifteen plus years. Drink 2024-2039." Owen Bargreen, 95 Pts.
