Chris James Cellars 2019 Merlot

Published: July 23, 2022

This Columbia Valley Merlot spent 18 months on neutral oak, letting the fruit shine through. It delivers flavors of black cherry and red plum that show a nice balance of acidity, joined by hints of chocolate on the mid-palate and lingering spicy notes on the finish. Aromas include dark jammy fruit, cedar, Allspice and herbal-floral hints of green peppercorn.
