Lot 202
2019 Walla Walla Merlot

Deep garnet in the glass with blackberry, dark chocolate, seasoned oak and warm stone leading an emerging bouquet. Smooth on entry with a robust underlying structure carrying juicy black fruit. Just a baby right now but all the parts all there...excellent energy, verve and freshness.

Nice tasty Merlot

"Soft smooth taste with a Richness that makes it a good merlot"

Richard P. (4/5)

Absolutely delicious Merlot!

"This Merlot really surprised me. It’s bold, velvety and just really good! I’d buy more if it wasn’t sold out."

Jean K. (5/5)

A nice example of a Washington Merlot

"I'm a big fan of Washington reds and this one fit the bill. Very dark in glass, smooth, and a nice long finish. Drink one today and put a few to rest. Can't wait to see how this one develops."

Michael L. (4/5)

Anthony F. (5/5)

Nice and balanced aroma and taste.

"This is a great every day drinking wine. Balanced flavors that need no pairing,"

Jacqueline S. (4/5)

Wonderful Walla Walla

"Good solid wine with great value. Big and bold, well-rounded tannins after an hour decant. Not a big Washington wine drinker but would buy a case at the next sale."

Stanford E. (5/5)

Under rated wine

"Washington state merlot is often under rated by those looking for the "California" style fruit bomb. This mine shows subtlety and finesse."
