2022 Mercer Bros Merlot
This wine opens with an enticing bouquet of vibrant red fruits, led by bright red cherry and the sweet allure of raspberry jam. The wine deepens with the rich, velvety flavors of ripe plum which mingle with subtle, earthy undertones of cedar. This Merlot is structured with a smooth, lingering finish that leaves behind a lovely combination of red fruit, spice, and a delicate nutty warmth.

Vineyard Notes
The fruit for this wine is grown at our acclaimed estate vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills. The fruit is exposed to dappled sunlight, allowing for uniform ripening and flavor development. Well balanced crop levels have allowed us to create wines with great depth and concentration.
Production Notes
These grapes were picked and immediately sorted in the vineyard. The fruit was not crushed in order to preserve as much whole-berry as possible. At the winery, individual lots were fermented in stainless steel tanks. Twice daily pumpovers allowed gentle extraction of color and tannins. This wine barrel aged for 22 months in 10% new French and American oak.
