Northstar

Columbia Valley Merlot 2011

It's been a while since I've had this wine. Big vanilla-blueberry with autumnal cedar and oak interplay, ashy pepper, black currants and plenty of toast, nose-wise. Gummy blueberry, dried blackberry, cedar, some graphite under a vanilla umbrella. Let it rain fruit droplets! This is round and tasty, though it is not the style I prefer, I respect its effort here. Sometimes you want warm fruit on brioche. #merlots #washingtonstate #northstar #merlotis4lovers — 8 years ago
