Tasting Notes
Crafted with Merlot grapes from Washington State and a touch of Cabernet Franc, this richly colored red is bold yet refined. With depth, structure, and just the right amount of restraint, it offers a classic expression of Merlot with layered fruit and gentle oak influence.
Aroma
The nose is warm and inviting, with notes of black cherry, dark plum, and a subtle hint of vanilla. A delicate aroma of toasted oak and cedar lingers in the background, adding complexity without overshadowing the fruit.
Palate
On the palate, this wine is medium to full-bodied, offering rich flavors of black cherry, blackberry, and a touch of cocoa. The Merlot provides round, velvety texture, while the small addition of Cabernet Franc brings structure and a quiet herbal lift. Firm but balanced tannins frame the wine, leading to a smooth, lingering finish.
Food Pairing
Pair this Merlot with grilled meats, mushroom risotto, or a classic beef stew. It also complements roasted duck, sharp cheeses, and herb-forward dishes like rosemary lamb or sage-roasted vegetables. A versatile red for both hearty meals and quiet evenings.
Aging Potential
This wine is drinking beautifully now but will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 3–5 years. With time, expect deeper integration of oak and fruit, along with a silkier texture and enhanced complexity.
