Bright ruby in color, this Merlot shows bright, juicy red fruit aromas of cherry and plum, layered with hints of baking chocolate, orange peel, and subtle hints of anise, cedar and clove. The palate is bright, refreshing and medium in body, with dusty tannins and a juicy, refreshing finish.

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.
