The 2014 Merlot Seven Hills Vineyard is a rock-solid red from Washington’s Walla Walla Valley. Ample notes of leafy herbs, chocolate, and assorted black fruits all give way to medium-bodied, rounded, yet classically styled wine that can be enjoyed over the coming 4-5 years. While it's less obvious than some of the other cuvees from this estate, this has a balanced, very drinkable style.
