Seven Hills 2011 Seven Hills Vineyard Merlot (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Country: US / Seven Hills Vineyard
Variety: Merlot Washington
Winery: Seven Hills / Walla Walla Valley (WA)

Entirely estate-grown, 100% Merlot from old vines, this unfined wine is labeled vegan. Plush, briary, brambly fruit from the 30 year old vineyard brings an extra dimension to the wine, which shows a lovely balance of cranberry, raspberry, pie cherry and baking spice flavors. There’s a hint of pastry crust in the finish, which is seamless and long. An absolute delight.
