title: Passion Vineyards 2009 Mango's Vineyard Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: Mango, presumably, is the dog pictured on the label. This is a heavily-extracted, somewhat bitter Merlot, with fruit flavors of blackberry syrup, alcohol at 15%, and still a fair amount of green bitterness to the tannins. Notes of iodine and anise come into play in the finish.
variety: Merlot
designation: Mango's Vineyard
