Januik Merlot 2022
From Washington's acclaimed Columbia Valley, Januik 2022 Merlot showcases why winemaker Mike Januik is celebrated for elegant, Bordeaux-inspired reds. This supple, medium-bodied Merlot is built on 90-95% Merlot with a touch of Cabernet for structure, revealing layers of black cherry, plum, boysenberry and dark raspberry.
On the palate it is fleshy and textured, with fresh black fruits, cocoa, dark chocolate and coffee, balanced by mouth-coating tannins and bright acidity. Strong yet refined with finesse and power, it finishes firm, persistent and polished — a crowd-pleasing Merlot that drinks beautifully now and over the next 5-7 years.
