From Washington State’s Yakima Valley, this full-bodied Merlot delivers a comforting style with plenty of depth. Ripe plum and black cherry flavors lead, layered with smooth cocoa and vanilla for a dry, velvety finish that feels both polished and inviting. Its richness pairs beautifully with pasta tossed in a classic marinara, juicy grilled burgers, or a spread of aged cheddar and creamy gouda.
