Novelty Hill 2023 Columbia Valley Merlot
“Smooth and refined, with enticing scents of red cherry, blackberry, and cedar. On the palate, the wine offers a velvety texture and structured mouthfeel that unfolds to reveal luscious layers of ripe plum, dark chocolate, and a hint of mint. Balanced acidity intertwines seamlessly with refined tannins. The finish is long and flavorful.” - Mike Januik, Winemaker
