Columbia Crest's Two Vines Merlot from the Washington State wine region is a wonderful, velvety red wine.
A warm cherry red shimmers in the glass with purple highlights. The seductive bouquet reveals intense aromas of juicy berry fruit - especially raspberries and blackberries - accompanied by fine notes of roasted nuances and oak wood. On the palate this wine presents itself with a fruity and soft berry aroma. Spicy notes, coffee and dark chocolate are added later. The body is wonderfully velvety and very balanced. The finish has a nice length.
Vinification of Columbia Crest Two Vines Merlot
After harvesting the Merlot grapes in the Columbia Valley, the grapes are completely destemmed and carefully ground in the Columbia Crest cellar. The resulting mash is then fermented for 7 to 10 days in stainless steel tanks and pumped over twice a day. This extracts further colour pigments and aromas from the berry skins. Once fermentation is complete, this wine is aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels.
