1 person found it helpfulMay 4th, 2019Begins with aromas of cedar and blackberry along with a certain herbal spicyness. The pallate, true to name, comes across quite velvety with flavors of juicy plum, blackberry, and hints of sage and cream. Definitely a step above the 2014 vintage I tasted previously. Overall an extremely well balanced and an easy to enjoy Washington Merlot! ($9) [1/26/18]

Nov 9th, 2015Medium bodied, lush plum skins with dried flowers & accents of minerality. Lots of character for and under $15 Merlot.
