Lion's Roar

2005 MERLOT Mid Columbian The Central WA Magazine "A deep black cherry color, offers a nose of jammy red fruits, 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 match for red meat dishes." "...you won't be happy with a Merlot from anywhere else in America but Washington."
