About the Abeja Merlot Columbia Valley
Aromas of blueberry preserve, earthy undertones, and star anise create an inviting bouquet that hints at the complexity ahead. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine showcases ripe dark berries complemented by black olive, sage, and delicate bergamot notes. Smooth tannins paired with vibrant acidity lead to an elegant, lingering finish marked by fruit-forward character and gentle earthiness.
Food Pairing: Pair it with grilled beef tenderloin, pan-seared venison loin, or rosemary lamb chops to complement its plush, velvety dark fruit profile.
Wine Enthusiast
Aromas are a delicate mix of violets, ripe boysenberries, blueberries, and wet stones. Flavors of blackberries and bitt ersweet dark chocolate meld with accents ofcedar and warm puff s of smoke from a clove cigarett e.There is a nice symmetry here between tannins with asubtle grip, crisp acidity, and a texture as elegant as sliding into a set of cott on sheets with an extremely highthread count.

The 2023 Merlot is nearly always 100% varietal and is in this case as well, sourced from Bacchus, Ciel du Cheval, Dionysus, Les Collines, Sagemoor, Skysill, and Mill Creek vineyards, all high-end sites. Early budding, the variety gets enough sunlight and heat to get ripe in Washington. This one offers an oomph of medium-bodied red fruit, baking spice, and supple texture, with an optical sorter used to get out any overt herbaceousness and good cap management to soften the tannins. A solid 18 months of aging in oak both new and used brings it all together.
