14 Hands 2011 The Reserve Merlot (Horse Heaven Hills)

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Merlot
Winery: 14 Hands / The Reserve

Aged for 30 months in French and American oak (90% new), this wine brings pleasing notes of café au lait, pencil lead, cashew and woodspice. Rich coffee and chocolate flavors are backed by a silky feel, with the wood playing prominent role.
