Woodward Canyon 2011 Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))

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

Plush and dusty, this splendid Merlot offers unusual depth and texture, even for Washington versions of the much-maligned grape. Along with black cherry fruit come highlights of herb and olive, spicy oak and rich earth. The density and detail carry through a long finish.
