2015 Wild Child Merlot Wahluke Slope
Tasting notes
This Washington state Merlot is a great example of how great we can grow Merlot in our state! We experienced an excep3onal growing season, which started 3 weeks earlier than normal and finished 3 weeks early than normal.
Dark Ruby in color with aromas of black cherry, raspberry, vanilla and cinnamon. Full bodied and crisp acidity with flavors of black cherry, raspberry, black currant, mineralty, tart pie cherries, a hint of graphite and vanilla.
Pair with balsamic glazed lamb chops or balsamic glazed Walla Walla Sweet Onions.
