2019 Mike Horan Merlot

100% Merlot is from the Columbia Valley AVA.  Its rich ruby red color makes way for smooth and heavy caramel then slides into the blackberry nose. A true representation of a traditionally structured Merlot.  The earthy feel dances away with tart plums then eases into a blackberry and cherry middle palate.  It features a great balance of acidity and tannins with a delightful spicy and memorable finish.   

Price ~ $30.00 ~ 90 cases produced

LABEL INSPIRATION

Mike Horan, our great grandfather, was a prize-winning apple grower in the Valley. At the National Apple Show he was awarded the title Apple King and won $2000. With that money he bought the family a 1910 Buick that we featured on the label. The illustration of the Buick is from the picture of him and his family that was taken behind the Horan house in his orchard.
