Two Mountain Winery Merlot 2022

Yep, this is Yakima Valley Merlot…and it will make you almost as happy as watching a baby otter playing on the rocks. Seriously, dare yourself. Initially you are treated to beautiful oak, a little cocoa dust, a healthy dose of raw fig and a dash of briny/salty intrigue. Then as you are starting to salivate you taste a series of palate ballets between lilac & bay leaf, cherry candy & roasted beets, black pepper & cumin…all dancing on a beautifully soft mid-palate dance floor that stretches for miles.
