is a wonderful expression of pure Washington Merlot. It exhibits incredible red berry character and violet on the nose with a very judicious use of oak. A plush mouthfeel, accented by pillow-soft tannins, projects gorgeous fruit flavors of red and black raspberry, boysenberry, red currant, plum and cherry that glide across the palate to an unbelievable soft, slow finish. Pairs beautifully with both, non-spicy, white or red meat dishes. ~Chuck Reininger, Winemaker
