About This Wine
Pip & Plow
Merlot
This brawny Merlot is for those who aren’t afraid to get a little sun on their face or dirt under their fingernails. These Washington grapes were harvested from low-yielding vines, which increased the flavor concentration in each berry. Every cluster was also allowed a little extra “hang time” on the vine to achieve maximum ripeness and flavor development. Our Pip and Plow winemakers are experts at taking advantage of what the environment has given them. They matched big fruit flavor with generous oak to create a full-bodied wine that is notably woodsy and ripe compared to other red varietals from Washington. A robust wine such as this is a welcome dinner guest alongside a hearty stew or grilled lamb. Pour yourself a glass and toast to the end of a long day’s work.

Tasting Notes
- Oak
- Fruit Preserves
- Fresh Herbs
Aromas of bay leaf and thyme stand out among scents of ripe blue fruit. Within this wine’s full body, you will uncover potent flavors of fruit preserves and oak. The tannins here are apparent but not overwhelming and provide just the right amount of structure to the wine’s plush mouthfeel.
