Country: US / 95% Merlot, 5% CS
Variety: Merlot Washington
Winery: Cascade Ridge / Columbia Valley (WA)
Almost all varietal with just a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon (5%) to fill it out, this is an intriguing wine with notes of cherry cordial, chocolate and herbs. With very little new oak influence, the soft, supple fruit flavors are allowed to shine through, giving this wine a real sense of polish.
