Story:

Washington’s Merlot’s are known for their rich color and balanced acidity. This wine is no exception. The mouth feel is velvety with tastes of black cherries and boysenberry. The finish plays in contradiction and character of green olives, black licorice, and molasses. While the wine is showing well now, it will have a rewarding response with aging.
