Stemilt Creek Winery 2014 Ascent Merlot, Columbia Valley, $42
By Great Northwest Wine on April 28, 2018
This Wenatchee-based winery with a Leavenworth tasting room has crafted one of the best Merlots you’ll find in the region. Opening with aromas of cardamom spice, hints of oak and blueberry, those lead to flavors of ripe blackberry, a hint of smoked bacon and black olive. Here’s a deep, complex red with great structure and food-friendly acidity. It merited a gold medal and selected as the best Merlot at the 2017 Wenatchee Wine Awards.
Rating: Outstanding!
Production: 59 cases
Alcohol: 15.4%
