Nice WA merlot nose. A bit plummy / jammy in the mouth. Blueberry pie. Better than previous vintages. Tasted alongside 2 other ~$20 WA merlots, all were good but this was my least favorite of the 3.

Nose is boysenberry, vanilla, cola, cedar, and a touch of river rock, and the slightest hint of something herbal. Flavors are dark fruit, leather, cedar, vanilla, an herbal note, and a bit of pepper. Very nice mouth-feel. Overall finish lingers for a respectable time. An enjoyable Merlot to be sure.

Pretty oaky, but still fairly pleasant at a reasonable price. Some nice dark fruit and graphite notes.

OUTSTANDING value wine! Under $15 but easily a 91 or 92 point wine. Could age longer, but drinking beautifully now.
