Name

2008 LaCreole Merlot

Description

We sourced the best vineyards for the perfect fruit from Southern and Northern Oregon for this delicious rich, long lasting Merlot.

This could possibly be our best Merlot to date. Flavors include black berries,sweet cherries, rosemary blossoms, dark fruit, roasted coffee beans, and dark chocolate that just melts on the tongue.
This Merlot really packs a punch. It was aged in Hungarian Oak for over 27 months. This really brings out a vanilla bean spiciness that will definitely get your attention.
