Mercer Estates Merlot 2005

Horse Heaven Hills | Release Date: 2/1/08 | Suggested National Retail Price: $24

Ripe mature blueberry and cherry aromas with a nice oak spice are followed by forest floor, cedar and anise. In the supple mouth the same fruit flavors are complimented with chocolate and coffee bean followed by moderate tannins with good mouthfeel and length.
- David Forsyth, Winemaker

"This silky-textured wine is round and polished, showing spicy, chocolaty undertones to the ripe cherry and cola flavors, lingering on the refined finish."
