The 2006 Merlot is medium ruby colored with a nose of spice box, violets, cassis, and black cherry. Ripe, savory, and forward, this flavorful Merlot will drink well over the next 6 years. Saint Laurent is owned and operated by Mike and Laura Mrachek. They currently farm about 260 acres with all of the wines produced from their own estate grapes grown in the Wahluke Slope AVA.www.SaintLaurent.net
