title: Januik 2010 Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: A sure-fire crowd-pleaser, this tightly-wound Merlot comes on very Cab-like, but with red fruits more than blue or black. It opens up into a broad mid-palate, showing well-balanced nuances of olive and earth, fresh herb, pepper and licorice. Dense, textural and smoky, it's delicious now or could be cellared for another five or six years.
