Puffin Wines 2021 Merlot

Published: April 28, 2025

This Walla Walla Valley Merlot presents jammy aromas of sugarplum with notes of baking spice, pipe tobacco and a hint of violet. On the palate, it delivers a juicy mouthfeel with rich flavors of black cherry and dark berries that are met on the mid-palate by finely textured tannins carrying notes of cocoa and earthy clay pot that linger through a polished finish showing persistent acids.
