Dusted Valley Boomtown Merlot 2021

A intense and nuanced wine with a deep, round colour. The nose is shaped by by a luscious plum and black currant fruitiness, with light undertones of cherry and leather. On the palate, the flavours are equally impressive, with vanilla, plum, blackberry, cherry, chocolate, and pepper emerging in a unified and refined way. The wine is dry and medium-plus in style, with a racy acidity that adds a bracing touch. The lasting impression is medium-plus, with a fruity and earthy character that continues pleasantly.

Rich, full-bodied wine with a well-rounded character featuring notes of strawberry, black cherry, and opaque chocolate, accompanied by suggestions of vanilla, cedar, and tar. The impression is described by a smooth, silky consistency and a medley of flavors, with blackberry, black cherry, and sweet tobacco, with a lingering finish that is both comforting and intense.

A distinct Columbia Valley wine with a unique character, but lacking the crisp, coolness of Chateau Ste Michelle. Cherry and oak undertones are present, but not as pronounced as in other Columbia Valley wines. Plum, licorice, and tobacco nuances emerge, followed by a smooth, easy-drinking finish.
