2008 Mermaid's Merlot

02 Apr 2010

Rating: Excellent

Review: This coastal winery in Grays Harbor County seems to enjoy the creative side of naming its wines almost as much as making them. This is a young, flavorful wine loaded with aromas of boysenberries, coffee, chocolate and cherries, followed by bold flavors of ripe berries and bright cherries. It's a big wine, yet the tannins are so tightly integrated, they come off as harmonious. (124 cases, 12% alc.)
