Charles Smith Wines The Velvet Devil Merlot (2008)

Brightruby-red color extends to primary aromatics revealing soft red plums, andsuggestions of smoke and cedar. A purposefully, slightly elevated tannicprofile puts this Merlot in an entirely new category, providing a robustcharacter that will appeal to all palates. Smooth as velvet, the 2007Velvet Devil is classic Washington State Merlot—hallmark Columbia Valley.It is ready to drink; a great price; and tastes like the vineyards fromwhich it came, a fact that also makes it ‘classic Modernist Project.

 ’Sinfully smooth, rich and explosive. Think red plums, bittersweet cocoa with hints ofsmoke and cedar. So smooth, so naughty, AND SO NICE.

About Columbia Valley
Food Pairing
 
COLUMBIA VALLEY - established 1984
  • Washington's largest viticultural region, covering almost 11 million acres (4,451,700 hectares) representing a full third of Washington State's land mass.
  • More than 17,000 vineyard acres (6,880 hectares) of wine grapes planted and approximately 15 wineries.
  • Columbia Valley's vast size allows for a number of meso and micro-climates.
  • Vineyards planted on predominately south-facing slopes, increasing solar radiation in summer and promoting air drainage in winter.
  • Merlot is the most widely planted varietal, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
  • Riesling and Syrah are also planted in significant quantities.
  • Growing season of 180-200 days with annual rainfall averaging 6 to 8 inches (15-20 cm).
  • Columbia Valley contains Red Mountain and both the Yakima and Walla Walla Valleys within its borders.
Enjoyable with hearty dishes of beef, pasta with tomatoes, and especially ripe cheeses.
