Merlot 2024
Tasting Notes
Fragrant aromas of ripe blackberry and dark cherry introduce the wine with inviting warmth. On the palate, layers of black plum, cocoa-dusted cherry, and hints of baking spice creating a supple, fruit-driven expression. The finish is smooth and lingering, marked by balance and understated elegance. This wine has cellaring potential of 5 to 7 years.
Vintage Notes
The 2024 growing season in Washington State was marked by a warm, dry spring that encouraged early bud break and uniform flowering across vineyards. Summer brought consistent warmth with minimal heat spikes, allowing for steady grape development and balanced ripening. Irrigation was key throughout the dry months, helping maintain vine health. The absence of major weather extremes, such as late frosts or excessive heat, contributed to an overall smooth growing season. As harvest approached, cooler nights helped preserve acidity, promising a crop with excellent concentration, ripe flavours, and vibrant balance.
