A Columbia Valley, Washington red wine from Novelty Hill Januik Winery, led by winemaker Mike Januik. The Merlot draws fruit from Frenchman Hills, Horse Heaven Hills and the estate Stillwater Creek vineyard, and is typically a Merlot-dominant blend with small additions of Cabernet Sauvignon and occasionally Malbec. It is aged for 22 months in new and one-year-old barrels with 65% French oak. The 2022 vintage earned a Double Gold medal at the Oregon Wine Awards. The nose shows dark raspberry, black plum, baking spice, allspice and cocoa, with sandalwood and charred bark. The palate is plush with red currant, wild raspberry, dark berry fruit, clove and cinnamon, with supple tannins. The finish is medium-long with red pepper fruit and bitter chocolate.
