Gamache 2009 Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Merlot
Winery: Gamache /

Rich cherry fruit anchors this excellent, estate-grown Merlot. It’s lush and textural, with deep, dark fruit flavors and pleasant roasted notes of coffee and smoke. Half the barrels were new American oak, the rest French, mostly new.
