Arbor Crest 2009 Four Vineyards Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Four Vineyards
Variety: Merlot Washington
Winery: Arbor Crest / Columbia Valley (WA)

Tart and bright, with an almost-jammy mix of raspberry and strawberry preserves, this concentrated, fruit-powered Merlot overdelivers for the price. Along with the luscious fruit are darker streaks of iron, coffee grounds and char, all in a classy, well-designed, four-vineyard blend.
