Sheridan Vineyard Merlot 09

Review:

Sheridan demonstrates Washington's potential to grow world-class Merlot. This estate-grown wine is rich and creamy, with a heft that you might mistake for a Cab. Sheridan is easily one of the hottest Washington wineries - the Wine Advocate tasted barrel samples of 2009 Sheridan reds and gave several 95-98 point early ratings. - Marcus

This is the first year that Sheridan has offered a wine that is simply called "Merlot."
