One of Washington’s pioneer producers of Merlot, the Williams family produced this stellar Merlot from its Kiona Estate Vineyard and nearby Heart of the Hill Vineyard. The result sets the bar for what more Merlot should be. On the nose, it promises spice, herbs and sweet blackberries, then delivers in the mouth with blackberries up front, joined by blueberries toward the back, spice, sweet tannins and a touch of black pepper. This captured a double gold medal at the 2019 Cascadia International Wine Competition.
