2012 Stillwater Creek ​Merlot

Label of 2012 Helix Stillwater Creek Vineyard Merlot, Columbia Valley
This is a sturdy Merlot, possessing a deep ruby color with a complex aromatic mix of dark fruit, incense, garden soil, bay leaf, chocolate and a breath of vanilla. Black currant and cherry charge the palate, riding over a texture of medium-round and slightly chewy tannins, while chasing dried plums dipped in dark chocolate with drops of toffee and sprinkled with savory spice. You might think twice about marinara and go for the beef. ~Chuck Reininger, Winemaker
