Dark garnet in color, this bold Merlot has aromas of black pepper, blackberry, cedar, basil and baking spice. Full bodied with moderate acidity and assertive tannin, this age worthy wine is tasting nicely now, but will continue to bloom over the next few years.

The Edgefield Winery is located at the mouth of the Columbia River Gorge at historic McMenamins Edgefield, site of the former Multnomah County Poor Farm (ca. 1911). Our 2006 Merlot offers soft raspberry and cherry fruit flavors with moderately earthy notes, integrated oak spice and a smooth, food-friendly finish.
