AVA: Yakima Valley

Vineyard: Crawford Vineyard, Prosser

Alcohol: 15.0%

Production: 17 cases

Not your grandmother's Merlot: a robust and full-bodied red wine with an intriguing melange of fruit, herbs and spice flavors. The old vines and long "hang-time" at the cool-climate Crawford Vineyard site make for an extraordinary and unusually intense Merlot.
