Walla Walla Valley winemaker Bill Murray offers a rather classic example of Washington Merlot with this contribution from two Precept-controlled sites – The Benches and Canoe Ridge Vineyard. The nose of Chukar Cherry, orange zest and California peppercorns transitions to flavors of ripe strawberry, which are joined by cherry pie juice, plum skins and blueberry seed. It’s filled with acidity, tannin and fruit.
