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.

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.
