Estate Grown Walla Walla Valley Merlot
Walla Walla Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Very very good. There’s a lot of texture to fit. Elegant. I for some reason find myself thinking I should serve it at next year’s Thanksgiving.

The 2017 ‘Walla Walla Valley’ Merlot is sourced in equal parts from the Seven Hills Vineyard and Ferguson Vineyard. Needing an hour in the decanter to be fully aroused, once awoken you experience dark currants and sandalwood aromatics, woven together with with shades of milk chocolate and roasted figs. The palate is fresh and vibrant with intense tannins that collide with the core of dark fruits, espresso bean and violets on the palate. With incredible tension and solid viscosity, this sturdy Merlot will enjoy a long life in the cellar. Drink 2022-2035- 93
