  • Appellation: Walla Walla Valley
  • Merlot Blend
  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc,
  • This Bordeaux blend has a ruby red color and leaves silk stocking legs on the glass. Rich, rhubarb pie, mountain blackberries, red cherry and the aromas of milk chocolate make this wine a dry apertif stimulator.

    2007 Estate Merlot View Label View Label
  • Appellation: Walla Walla Valley
  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon,
  • Winemaker: Andrew Lodmell
  • The highly complex 2007 Lodmell Cellars Merlot reveals generous notes of very ripe plum, Creme de Cassis liqueur, canned black cherry and fresh-picked yarrow leaves. These flavors are accompanied by their associated aromas, which herald the good news of what to expect from this wine on the palate. If vigorously decanted, a discreetly pronounced note of clover honey can also be detected in the wine's bouquet.
    This Bordeaux-style wine only just qualifies as a varietal Merlot, as it was masterfu...     ...read more

    		Merry Cellars (Pullman, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
    2010 Merlot
  • Appellation: Walla Walla Valley
  • Winemaker: Patrick Merry
  • We chose our fruit from Walla Walla Valley because we agreed that it's the perfect spot to produce a great Merlot - silt loam and windblown glacial loess harmonize with Walla Walla's legendary climate to give this Merlot its fullness of character. Round and ripe, this wine will delight with tightly woven flavors of black cherry, currant and plum wrapped in hints of leather and oak.

    2008 Merlot
  • Appellation: Walla Walla Valley
  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec,
  • Winemaker: Jean-Franois Pellet
  • The 2008 growing season had a mind of its own. The vines starting blooming late, but ended up ripening early. Because of the compressed season, we had to work a little harder to tend our vines properly. Nonetheless, we were thrilled with the outcome. The 2008 vintage displays very supple fruit flavors, perfectly balanced with crisp acidity.

  • Why does Chuck find a little pencil in his wine? This Merlot is no exception, and another thing that’s really nice Is the dash of cedar wood spice. The faint smell of earth and dusty cocoa would make anyone happily loco...
