Our newly release 2005 Merlot was just awarded a Gold Medal at the Central Washington State Fair's "Washington Wine Competition".

Our winemaker, Bruno, says "It has a deep black cherry color. The nose of jammy red fruits is nuanced by notes of cedar and vanilla. The mouth is round and shows a character of ripe concentrated red fruits. Tannins are present but soft to give just enough body for this wine to be a nice red meat match.
