Claar 2011 Estate Grown and Bottled Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Merlot
Winery: Claar / Estate Grown and Bottled

This wine opens with aromas of vanilla and baking spices that are followed by broad, silky-feeling fruit and barrel flavors, finishing on a somewhat bitter note. The oak holds a prominent role but still plays its part well.
