Founded in 1934, CSM is the oldest winery in Washington with some of the most mature vineyards in the Columbia Valley. A blend of 91% Merlot & 9% Cab Sauv. Dark Ruby with ripe berry fruit and nutty spice aromas. On the palate flavors of ripe cherry and blackberry with smoke and cacao notes. Dusty tannins, medium finish ending spicy. Will stand up to food well. Drink now.

Might have rated this higher but went in with a higher expectation. While it has good flavors, medium tannins and finish, it just didn’t have deeper complexity that I was expecting. However, my wife enjoyed this even more than our Meeker Merlot from last night.
