Milbrandt Merlot The Estates Wahluke Slope 2017 750 ML

Black ruby color. Aromas and flavors of baking spices, banana-coconut cream pie, leather, flamed orange, vanilla custard, and anise with a velvety, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a warming, compelling, medium-length finish with suggestions of ganache with moderate oak flavor. A chewy and decadent, well-structured Merlot for sipping or to accompany a fine meal.\n \n Producer Information\n Butch and Jerry Milbrandt planted their first vineyard in 1997. In the ensuing decade, Milbrandt Vineyards earned a reputation for growing some of Washington State's finest grapes. These grapes have found their way into many of Washington's most sought-after wines and the Milbrandt name and vineyards are featured on many prestigious labels. In 2006, under the talented direction of winemaker Gordon Hill, they began crafting signature wines using selected grapes from their reputable vineyards. Milbrandt's first wines were released in June 2007. The tradition for excellence established in their vineyards is inherent in every bottle of Milbrandt Vineyards wine.
