We will say it again: Merlot is good for you. Washington Merlot can stand up against all of the best Merlot on the planet. I mean that. It is special here, as if the Columbia Valley soil and sunshine were tuned in to this grape on purpose. The 2018 is a dark, delicious blend of the finest soil in Washington. Pepper Bridge, May’s Discovery, Pollard and StoneTree Vineyards shine bright in this bottle.
