Orca International : Shop : Sunset Road Merlot

Sunset Road Merlot (2008)
	Soft, seductive chocolate, vanilla, and ripe, creamy raspberry aromas giving a hint of herbal dustiness to keep it slightly edgy. On the palate: a burst of raspberry cream fruit with layers of cocoa and vanilla coming through in mid-palate. The finish is soft and smooth with a touch of toasted tannin to prepare you for your next sip. Varietal Composition: 100% Merlot Volume: 750ml Retail Price: 1,564 yen Region: Columbia Valley Medium-bodied、 Dry　 Price: ¥ 1,564

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. Immensely enjoyable with hearty dishes of lamb, beef, dark-fleshed salmon, pasta with tomatoes, and especially ripe cheeses.
