Columbia Valley

2016 Merlot - 1.5L

Tasting Notes

The 2016 vintage has rich concentrated aromas of black cherry, plum, mint, cedar, and chocolate that lead into flavors of black raspberry and vanilla. The wine is a big and bold and was created to enjoy now, or for many years to come as it will age gracefully. Enjoy!

Food Pairings

Herbed leg of lamb, beef, and grilled vegetables
