description: Included in the blend is 11% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Syrah, all estate-grown. It shows both the broadness and the depth of Washington Merlot, mixing plummy fruit with streaks of tobacco and licorice. There's a suggestion of earth and a savory aspect to the finish, which exits smoothly and softly, with a last kick of cinnamon.
