A Medium bodied with garnet hue, the Columbia Crest H3 Merlot has a nose of rich blackberry aromas, oak and a hint of cloves. Plush in the mouth with tastes of ripe blackberry, cedar and tea notes. There's tannins with decent structure on the medium finish with blackberry, minerals and a hint of mocha at the end, that lingers on with pleasing tenacity.
