The Barnard Griffin 2017 Red Mountain Merlot, from Red Heaven Vineyard, is aged for twenty nine months in new and neutral French oak barrels. Shows subtle layers of blueberry, Maraschino cherry and plum backed up by hints of vanilla, brown sugar and orange zest. Very aromatic, fruity and flavorful. A great match for braised short ribs or tender pork shoulder.

“Incredible, mouthwatering cherry and plum flavors mingle with alluring spicy notes and a pleasant touch of earthiness. Serve this stylish Red Mountain red with your favorite grilled meats or red sauced pasta dishes." Washington State Wine Commission
