2020 BLACKBOARD MERLOT

The 2020 Blackboard Merlot was crafted from multiple vineyards in Washington State; Soaring Eagle, McNary, and Four Feathers. Farmed using sustainable practices, the vines were harvested in the early fall mornings of 2020. The wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks, with three months on oak (45% new French oak). After careful evaluation and blending by our winemaker, only 797 cases were produced.

Tasting Notes

"Aromas of molasses, vanilla extract, brown sugar, roasted pear, dried prune and rose. Dark chocolate with dusty tannin, rich blueberry pie, warm baking spice." - Soren Dietz, Winemaker
