2007 MerlotPrice: $20.00 (SOLD OUT) Appellation: Wahluke Slope, Columbia Valley, Washington State Varietals: 100% Merlot Vineyard: StoneTree Vineyard Winemaker Comments: Stone vineyard is consistently the first fruit we pick every year. This very warm site in the Wahluke Slope produces some of the finest grapes in the Columbia Valley. The grapes underwent a whole- berry fermentation in one ton open top fermenters, and were lightly pressed into one and two year old French oak barrels. The wine was aged for 22 months prior to bottling. Tasting Notes: StoneTree vineyard gives us Merlot with bright fruit, solid tannins, and great acidity. A touch of fennel with bright black cherry leads into a lively burst of red raspberry. This well balanced wine finishes with soft notes of cedar, violet, and spice. A classic Washington State Merlot, enjoyable on its own and with a wide array of food. Aging: Aged 22 months in 100% French oak barrels.
