Columbia Crest 2011 Reserve Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Merlot Washington
Winery: Columbia Crest / Columbia Valley (WA)

This very limited reserve is from a particular block, and as with most block selections, it offers focused, somewhat constrained flavors. Precisely defined red berry fruit is set in a frame of vanilla, toast and coffee. It’s a pleasant, albeit generic quaffer.
