Tasting Notes
This elegant Walla Walla merlot is extremely concentrated
with flavors of chocolate and spice. Velvety, currant,
cocoa-espresso flavors reveal lush black currant and
plum, while mingling in exotic brown spice. The wine
is supple and polished, finishing with an offering of
dried cherry gently dipped in chocolate.
“Chocolate and spice and everything nice!”
