About the Wine: Washington State is probably best known for its Riesling, but a number of good Merlots are also produced there. Washington Merlots tend to be bold and fruit forward to the point that some in the industry describe them as fruit bombs. The thing about fruit bombs is that while they do not impress connoisseurs, they are very approachable.
About THIS Wine: The center is violet and the rim is pink. The color does not fade exactly, it is more like the shades between pink and violet are in circles. I have no idea why it does that. Oak dominates the nose, though hints of fruit are present. Strangely, oak is not present on the palate, which is instead defined by dark red fruit with subtle tannins. The oak does resurface in a mildly spicy finish.
Drinking This Wine: This is a very accessible sipping wine. I think it would also be great with a pork steak.
Overall Impression: The wine is good and the price is reasonable. This wine is good for the price.
