2019 Januik Columbia Valley Merlot

WSI92 Beautiful dense and aromatic nose, dark cassis, very elegant. Fresh, crunchy fruit on the onset, red cherry pie concentration follows, vanilla sweetness. Balanced and very pretty!
JS91 Aromas of bark, red and black cherries and rosemary. Medium-to full-bodied with soft tannins. Plummy and mellow. A hint of coffee comes through.
Estate Notes: This velvety, medium-bodied Merlot reveals layers of raspberry, boysenberry and plum notes in the nose that translate into fleshy black fruit and cocoa flavors in the mouth. Brimming with a tremendous amount of texture and length, this wine should age gracefully for a minimum of 12-15 years
