There are 728 cases of the 2015 Columbia Valley Merlot (which contains small quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc). The wine offers up notions of crushed currants, fruitcake and creamy new oak, followed by a medium-bodied, supple palate with fine-grained tannins and an open-knit profile. It's adapted to near-term consumption.
