Our Chelan Estate vineyard provided all the Merlot and Syrah for this wine. The vintage marked a point where we felt the Merlot vines had reached a level of maturity and produced the kind of wine that was hinted at in previous years. Engaging black cherry aromas, ripe red fruit, elegant and balanced with a hint of licorice and spice that is becoming a trademark of our vineyard. Merlot 91%, Syrah 9%.
