Anthony Cellars Yakima Valley Merlot 2016

Bottled in 2019, this Elephant Mountain Merlot demonstrates the power and sublime nature of Washington state merlots. Elephant Mountain is one of Washington state's highest elevation vineyards and the vines grown in predominately sandy soils. The Merlot was aged in four-year-old French oak barrels for three years. After bottling, it was then aged bottle for another 17 months prior to release.

Winemaker's Notes: This 2016 Merlot from Elephant Mountain is balanced and, surprisingly, lush and powerful on the palate. It opens with aromas of raspberry, strawberry, cherry and hay. After swallowing, It lingers with you for a very long time, tickling your nose with aromas of strawberries, rhubarb, honey, allspice and sage.
