Columbia Valley, Washington
A single-vineyard Merlot from Conner Lee, one of Washington’s longest-established and most highly regarded vineyards.
About the vineyard. Conner Lee Vineyard was first planted in 1980 under the guidance of Washington State University viticulturist Dr. Walter Clore. The site sits on fine sandy loam soils — sandy glacial marine sediments left by the Missoula floods of the Pleistocene era — and is sustainably farmed. A relatively cool, long, even ripening season produces wines known for texture, balance, and complexity. Conner Lee is widely regarded as one of the top Chardonnay sites in the Pacific Northwest, and its Bordeaux-variety bottlings — including Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc — have a strong reputation as well.
In the glass. Dark chocolate, citrus, and leather on a medium- to full-bodied frame.
Pairs with: grilled or braised beef, duck, roasted root vegetables, aged cheddar, mushroom dishes.
