2016 Merlot Tamarack Cellars Winery

Merlot lovers are going to love this Washington State Merlot. The winemaker brewed a simple, straight-forward, and easy to drink Merlot. In tasting, there isn’t heavy fruit nor tough tannin. It’s got the stuff that brings a smile of satisfaction, and then a need for a second glass.

Serve this Merlot confidently to guests during conservation. Pour with a meal of hearty beef or grilled salmon. It fits as a unique red because of its natural presentation.

Taste= 3

The wine tastes like a Merlot. There is a hint of dark berry. Its finish is smooth without heavy oak tannin.

Looks=3.

The pour shows a lighter color red, but it has legs that cling. Also, the winemaker placed it in a heavy dark brown bottle. It comes with a genuine cork for long-term cellaring. It has an easy-on-the-eye label, which lets any buyer know it is from the Columbia Valley, the year produced, as well as this top-notch winery.

Cost= 2.

Purchasing this Merlot makes a buyer step-up into a library level wine. For a saw-buck more, a wine drinker can enter a wider aroma of estate grown and produced wines.
