Leonetti Cellars 2018 Merlot Walla Walla Valley, Washington
The first Leonetti release from 2018 is a true marker of this extraordinarily high-quality vintage. Extremely dark and impressively structured. Merlot is often thought of as Cabernet's little sister, though in the Walla Walla Valley, it produces wines capable of standing on their own merits, and time has proven this. Merlot is grown on the cooler sites with slightly heavier soils. It is a wine of intensely focused fruit and silky tannins. The blend is 100% Merlot as it needs no support from other Bordeaux varieties. Their exceptional Loess Vineyard fruit makes up a full two-thirds of the blend with the balance contributed by Mill Creek Upland as well as a 40-year-old original block at the Leonetti winery.
