Region: Washington State - Dionysis 12%, Pepper Bridge 18%, Seven Hills 31%, Wallula 39
Varietals: Merlot

A 100% atypical Washington merlot from 4 vineyards in 3 AVAs (Columbia Valley, Horse Heaven Hills, Walla Walla Valley). The unique, small, famous blocks in Seven Hills and Pepper Bridge form the backbone of this wine. Elegance is added from Dionysis, one of the Sagemoor Vineyards on the gorgeous Hanford Reach free-flowing section of the mighty Columbia River. Aromatics from Wallula Vineyard, a fabulous piece of dirt, round out this wine into a plump mouthful with good acidity on the finish.

Showy, gorgeous body like having a date with a super model, all amazing but more legs than most. This wine is a masterpiece of special blocks blended to perfection after three years of gentle handling and cool underground aging.

Get ready for more big smiles with the high-toned, smoky, toasted pecan, molasses, cassis with dried cherries and violets. Tastes like a giant smooth Old World Cabernet Sauvignon. The maestro, Gary Figgins, left here with a case of it. Its pretty much The Bomb, I mean, if you like big long cabs. : )
