Columbia Crest Grand Estates Merlot(2005)

“This complex, artisanally crafted wine offers classic Merlot spice, ripe cherry fruit, and cocoa aromatics which persist on the palate. The balance of wood and black fruits creates a velvety, seductively smooth finish.”

Had this at Morton's - at a price where I could've bought a bottle of it. Curse these restaurants that mark up their wine by glass too much!
Nice aromatics of berries and a bit of violets. Nice flavors of black currants, blueberries, mocha/cola. A little oak at the finish, which was short. Really not bad for the price. Similar to the Red Diamond, which is also a Washington State wine.

I really enjoyed this merlot with its robust flavor. It is very smooth with a rich purple color.
