Woodward Canyon 2006 Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US /
Variety: Merlot Washington
Winery: Woodward Canyon / Columbia Valley (WA)

There is a little Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) and Syrah (4%) in the blend also. This is a silky, yet muscular— let’s say it, masculine—style of Merlot. Meaning that the fruit is concentrated with deep blue and black berry and cassis flavors, augmented with lead pencil. Beautiful polish and concentration characterize this wine, yet it’s quite approachable.
