Red Mountain Merlot

Red Mountain Merlot Wine Details
Price: $28.00 per bottle

Description: Red Mountain is Washington State’s smallest Apellation but is prized by wine makers and drinkers for the ripe intense fruit produced there. Our 2002 Merlot is no exception. A complex nose of dark jammy fruits with hints of spice and chocolate gives way to a mouthfeel that is wonderfully balanced and well structured. The wine’s toasted finish just lingers on and on…. This is not a wine for the timid but you can enjoy it now in its youth and savour it in a couple years as it matures. We do suggest that you decant this wine so it can open up to reveal its true breadth of aroma and flavors. The wine is a blend of 95% Merlot from Artz Vineyard, 4% Cabernet Franc from Chelle den Pleasant and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon from Pepperbridge and Bacchus Vineyards.
