Januik Description
This highly textured, medium-bodied Merlot reveals layers of dark raspberry, ripe cherry and cocoa notes in the nose that translate into fleshy black fruit and chocolate flavors in the mouth. Brimming with a tremendous amount of texture and length, this wine should age gracefully for a minimum of 12-15 years.
Jeb Dunnuck: 91 Points
Sourced primarily from Red Mountain, the 2022 Merlot Columbia Valley has accessible red fruit and a balsamic afternote, with a structured midpalate of medium-bodied intensity and grip. Cedar, dried herb, and tobacco leaf round out the fruit and integrated oak.
Vinous Media: 90 Points
Dusty and floral, the 2022 Merlot slowly evolves in the glass with a bouquet of wilted violets and dried blueberries. This is elegant and supple with ripe red and blue fruits, creamy textures and a core of fresh acidity to balance it all out. The 2022 tapers off with medium length, gentle tannins and a tactile mineral crunchiness.
