(Boudreaux Cellars Merlot Washington State) Dark in color. Aromatics are fairly quiet at present and are dominated by anise, dark cherries, and high-toned red fruit. The palate is gigantically big – almost brusque - with an army of tannins and dark fruit flavors. A big, chewy wine that draws all of the moisture out of your mouth. This is a wine that will go up against your biggest steak and win the battle. Give 2-3 years. 100% Merlot. Dionysus, Pepper Bridge, Seven Hills, and Wallula vineyards. 13.4% alcohol. 200 cases produced.
