WINE DESCRIPTION

The wine is made from grapes grown in the estate vineyards located in the Columbia Valley appellation, which is known for its ideal growing conditions for Merlot. The vineyards feature well-draining soils and a warm climate, which allows the grapes to ripen fully and develop rich flavors.

The resulting wine is a full-bodied Merlot with a rich, velvety texture and flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice.
