Woodward Canyon Columbia Valley Merlot
"This 2005 Columbia Valley Merlot is produced from grapes grown at
several of the finest vineyards in Washington State. These include
Woodward Canyon Estate Vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley (81%) and
Klipsun Vineyard in the Red Mountain Appellation (19%). Merlot ripened
beautifully in 2005, producing a wine of lovely concentration,
structure, and expression.
The 2005 vintage was the warmest vintage on record, surpassing even the
very warm 2003 vintage. The wine shows extraordinary complexity,
definition and focus. The ability to blend with such fantastic
vineyards has produced a flavor profile of dried cherry, subtle oak,
and coffee; I pick up notes of toasted coconut and vanilla in the
aroma. Firm, mature tannins give this wine its backbone and it will
require some patience. I absolutely love the proportion of this wine
though and, while it may be consumed now, it will show better with at
least a year or so of bottle age." Winemaker's Notes
