Chateau Ste. Michelle Merlot sku_1842533 dried leaf and toast leadWe craft this wine to be our complex yet approachable Merlot. The wine offers aromas of black cherry, leather and spice with layers of rich dark red fruit fl avors and a long, smooth, sweet fi nish. A touch of Syrah adds a jammy fruit character. "The aromas are reserved, with notes of mocha, ember and cherry. The flavors are plump around the edges, lighter in the middle. Flower notes linger on the finish.
