Merlot
Our Still & Co. Merlot is a decadent example of our winemaker’s meticulous artistry. They’ve created a complex flavor profile that balances rich, dark fruit flavors and complex aging characteristics by blending multiple vintages. In doing so, our Merlot offers dense layers of flavor and texture worthy of this brand’s multiple 90+ point reputation. In the arid climate of Washington’s Yakima Valley, vineyards enjoy an average of 300 sun-filled days a year. This northern wine region sits at the same latitude as Merlot’s ancestral home in Bordeaux. However, unlike Bordeaux, Yakima Valley has little influence from the ocean thanks to the towering peaks of the Cascade Mountains to its west. These ridges block coastal storms, keeping inland regions dry and hot, resulting in a fuller, fruitier, New World styling. We encourage you to share this bottle with friends and enjoy climate and craftsm ...

WINE REGION:
![Outline of Yakima Valley](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/3475/normal/Washington_Yakima_Valley.png?1616010835)
Yakima Valley
Washington's Yakima Valley enjoys 300 days of sunshine per year, thanks to the shelter provided by the Cascade Mountains. And although it is dry here, it has the coolest climate in the Columbia Valley. With innovative irrigation and canopy techniques in the vineyards, Yakima Valley is home to nearly a third of Washington's wine production. Bright sunlight and crisp temperatures result in well-balanced wines with complex flavors and mouthwatering acidity. Fresh, creamy Chardonnay and surprisingly floral Rieslings are the main white wines here. There are also some impressively elegant red Bordeaux-style blends and peppery Syrah with a backbone of rich, dark fruit.

Succulent scents of roasted tomatoes and cooking spices serve as a savory introduction and indication of well-executed maturation. Fruit appears on the palate in the form of stewed plums and ripe fig flavors amidst smooth textures before a sweet vanilla finish.
