Washington Merlot (CGP)
Bold, yet elegant. This Yakima Valley Merlot is big and full with up-front waves of raspberry, blackberry, and plum. Subtle notes of cedar and mocha follow the fruit. American oak balances the tannins and creates harmony. Will continue to develop for at least a year in the bottle. Cellar Craft uses over 10 pounds of virgin, varietal grapes to produce Crushed Grape Packs for true, on-the-skins fermentation. All of the natural skins and solids from variety-specific grapes are captured for extra extraction of aromatics, flavour, colour, and body during the fermentation stage.
