Luke Columbia Valley Merlot
Wahluke Slope AVA, Washington
Tasting Notes
LUKE Merlot reveals the hallmark of great Washington merlot – dark red fruits, rounded tannins and an opulent, smooth finish. Born on the Wahluke Slope, Luke Merlot‘s fresh flavors of plum, cherry, and blackberry dominate the mid palate while earthy flavors of tobacco, cedar, and clove marry the spices of vanilla and mocha to extend the wine’s long lingering finish.
