  The aromas of barrel spice, herb and cherry are light and elusive. The red-fruit flavors are medium bodied, pulling up short on the finish.

  Aromas of baking spice, vanilla and dark cherry are followed by lush, thoroughly delicious cranberry and pit-fruit flavors that persist, with soft, plump tannins backing them up. It's a hedonistic example of the variety: equal parts fruit and oak and 100% delicious.

  This remains tight and somewhat impenetrable, with focused, tart flavors of red berry, lemon and pineapple. The scent of oak references considerable time in 40% new barrels. Once the fruit flavors fade, it's mostly acid that remains in the finish.

  Unfiltered and broad shouldered, this is a fine expression of pure Merlot from the Walla Walla Valley. Though plenty ripe, the sweet fruit flavors have a pillowy elegance—the wine feels light but the flavors run deep.

  Soft and chocolaty, this smooth and broadly expressive Merlot has immediate flavor appeal. From a pair of Walla Walla vineyards, it's a showcase for silky fruit and buttery tannins.
