title: Balboa 2008 Mirage Vineyard Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: Some sweetness is immediately apparent in the fruit, which seems to be a juicy blend of cherry, berry and hints of prune. Forward and open, this offers single-vineyard fruit flavor at a budget wine price. Nice winemaking; not for the cellar, but a lovely bottle to drink right now.
variety: Merlot
designation: Mirage Vineyard
