Solid Red, no bricking noted, with some built up sediment on cork. Bright red and black fruits on nose, pleasant and slightly sweet. Crisp cherries and currants on palate, almost sweet, minimal secondaries noted. Midpalate smoothly transitioned into a nice finish with some good structure noted. Not real heat, a well balanced Washington Merlot. Throwing some sediment on the last pour. Another great QPR from winebid.

This wine was full of vanilla, cherry, strawberry and a smooth finish. Ciel du Cheval vineyards produces outstanding wines and this was no different. Nice to have expectations of a vineyard designate meet.
