How many cases? 37! Ha. A tiny Washington producer, making some killer juice. This one is made from Klipsun Vineyard Merlot (100% merlot). Klipsun is one of the vineyards that put Red Mountain on the map 20 years ago. And this does not disappoint; Red fruit and baking spices on the nose. A super Olde World style on the palette, lots of earth, lots of wood, tannins are fairly tamed. This was a lovely companion for Saturday night.

Phenomenal Merlot, richly concentrated and powerful, but with the velvety smoothness that Merlot is famous for. Cassis, blueberry, and blackberry jam flavors give way gracefully to leather and milk chocolate notes. Incredibly long finish, this is a Merlot to be savored.
