Seven Hills 2013 Seven Hills Vineyard Merlot (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Country: US / Seven Hills Vineyard
Variety: Merlot Washington
Winery: Seven Hills / Walla Walla Valley (WA)

Though Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc each make up just 3% of this wine, they seem to show themselves aromatically, with herb and floral notes that provide the backdrop for Merlot’s cocoa and cherry. The red fruit flavors are plump and juicy, backed by bright acid that leads to a long, fruit filled finish. It doesn’t always come off as completely varietal but it’s nearly impossible to resist all the same.
