Dumas Station 2008 Estate Merlot (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Country: US / Estate
Variety: Merlot Washington
Winery: Dumas Station / Walla Walla Valley (WA)

Three quarters Merlot, with 17% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a bit lighter than the 2007 Merlot, but just as good, if not better. Lush and loaded with black cherry, blackberry, cocoa and baking spices, it extends deliciously and seamlessly into a long, ripe, smooth finish.
