Lots of smoky black cherry and darker currant fruits as well as notes of chocolate, graphite, lead pencil, and chalky minerality...full-bodied beauty is beautifully textured, with a stacked mid-palate, velvety tannins, and a blockbuster finish.
...aromas of plums, chocolate-covered cherries and black raspberry before offering complex layers of minerality, purple flowers and elegant baking spices. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is deliciously balanced and displays fruit captured at optimum ripeness levels, offering energetic acidity and lifting tannins across the mid-palate...concludes with a long, silky finish that emphatically shows Washington Merlot can be a powerhouse... Bravo!
Brooding, almost inky scents of blackberry, boysenberry, licorice, tree bark, black pepper and graphite. Suave, fine-grained and remarkably intense on entry, conveying a sexy savory quality and a dark chocolatey sweetness to its surprisingly supple dark berry, licorice and spice cake flavors. This dense, harmonious blend is at once serious and suave, finishing with well-integrated tannins and terrific rising flavors of dark berries, bitter chocolate and minerals.
