WINE DESCRIPTION

Chasing Rain Merlot Red Mountain is a high-quality red wine produced by Chasing Rain Winery in the Red Mountain AVA of Washington State, USA. The wine is made primarily from Merlot grapes grown in a sustainably farmed vineyard, which benefits from the unique terroir of the Red Mountain appellation, including its volcanic soil and ideal sun exposure. The winemaking process includes hand-picking, fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and aging in French and American oak barrels. The resulting wine has a complex flavor profile with notes of dark fruit, spice, and vanilla, with a smooth and velvety texture. It is a perfect pairing with rich meats and savory dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Chasing Rain Merlot has a deep ruby hue and is bursting with aromas of ripe cherries and blackberries, along with notes of earthy spice and toasty oak.On the palate, the tannins are soft and supple, with a balanced acidity that dances across the tongue. The flavors are rich and concentrated, with a long and lingering finish. Enjoy with a juicy steak or a charcuterie board.
