Very pleasant nose with cranberry and red fruit. Unfortunately, the wine was quite unbalanced with high alcohol (almost 15% for a merlot!) dominating the blend, not allowing the fruit to show through.

(Novelty Hill Merlot Columbia Valley) A moderately aromatic wine with bright raspberries and cocoa powder. The palate is loaded with chocolate and red fruit flavors letting up just a touch toward the finish. 95% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Cabernet Franc. 14.4% alcohol. 1,250 cases produced.

Very light in color. Spicy smell of paprika, pie crust and baked cherries. Delicate and smooth taste of strawberries. Short finish.
