title: Gordon Estate 2010 Estate Grown Block 3 Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: A very limited (three barrels) block selection, this is a tough, chewy wine that remains stubbornly closed even after being open a full 24 hours. Hard cherry candy is concentrated in a tannic casing, with streaks of licorice, dark chocolate, and slightly bitter herbs wrapped around it. But the power and stuffing are there for significant improvement over time.
variety: Merlot
designation: Estate Grown Block 3
