Waterbrook 2014 Reserve Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))

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

Coming from a mixture of Mirage and Blackrock vineyards, this wine offers aromas of baking spice, vanilla and dark fruit. These are followed by full-bodied black-cherry and spice flavors along with gritty tannins. It dips a bit in the middle and the oak seems a bit heavy, but it still delivers enjoyment.
