Airfield Estates Merlot, Yakima Valley, Washington State

This 2019 Merlot showcases bountiful dark fruit aromas of cassis, fig jam, and blackberries intertwined with intriguing notes of cocoa and toffee. The palate is full-bodied and robust with secondary flavors of smoked caramel, dark cherry, vanilla, and espresso with hints of toasted oak. Finishing off with remarkably smooth tannins and balanced acidity that accentuates the dark, jam-like flavors, leaving a finish that lingers on the palate.
