An Estate Merlot from Destiny Ridge Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills. This Merlot elegantly expresses its layers of complexity. Barrel aged for 18 months in both French and American Oak the blend of 79% Merlot, 19% Malbec and 2% petit verdot has an intense bouquet of blackberry, spicy anise, and cedar with flavors that find their way to underlying touches of earthy tobacco, cocoa powder, and fruitwood smoke. It’s elegantly balanced, with subtle oak and refined tannins that are powered by its bold fruit flavors to a solid, lengthy finish.
