2021 Seven Hills Winery, Founding Vineyard Merlot, Walla Walla Valley

The Walla Walla Valley has become an oasis for the classic Bordeaux varietal, offering a unique environment that reliably turns out the fruit that’s teeming with elegance, structure, and personality. The resulting wines not only demonstrate an intriguing element of discovery but solidify our beloved home turf as a premiere New World appellation for Merlot.
Medium ruby color leads you to pronounced aromas of blackberries and black cap raspberries with underlaying notes of cedar, dark chocolate, and wet earth. A lush but firm mouthfeel with bright acidity, followed by flavors of dried black raspberries, marionberries with hints of cocoa dust, black pepper, and leather.
