Basalt Cellars 2014 Merlot

Basalt Cellars 2014 Merlot


Dark fruit, spicy aromatics and earthy notes come together in a delightful balance in this Columbia Valley Merlot. On the nose, dark berry jam and fragrant cedar mix with notes of milk chocolate, dried sweet basil and a hint of spiciness reminiscent of ground coriander. Flavors of sweet Italian plum, blueberry and clove spice are upfront, then fading to a lasting finish that shows notes of dried sage and clay pot minerality.
