Gordon Estate 2009 Estate Grown Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Estate Grown
Variety: Merlot Washington

There’s plenty of toasty oak flavor (the wine spent 27 months in barrel) along with pretty raspberry and cherry fruit. Dark notes come in with the tannins—smoke and char, along with a coconut kick to the finish.
