I was quite surprised by this. Very bordeaux-like. I know this is merlot dominant but the cab really peeks through. Dark fruit, leather, tobacco, graphite, stone, violets, cedar. Velvety tannins. A very nice columbia valley bdx blend!
Day 2 the merlot started to show more of itself, the wine felt a hint more fruit forward.
Very happy with this!

Merlot dominant blend - nose was subdued and fruit forward
Palate-very soft, silky mouthfeel - limited tannins - fruit forward, blue and red fruits - some light vanilla but in balance - this doesn’t seen like a wine built to age but tasted great with salmon soft tacos…likely good with a variety of foods. Solid value under $40.

Initial nose a bit closed, needed a decant. Darker body, tobacco leaf and fruit. Solid tannins with a bit of grit to them.
