Columbia Valley vineyards grow Merlot that gives Washington winemakers a reason to smile. With the grapes our winemaker uses from the state’s top vineyards, Januik consistently turns out Merlot with that WOW-factor that leaves wine drinkers smiling.

A blend of 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon which includes grapes from Klipsun, Ciel du Cheval, and Weinbau vineyards. Raspberry, vanilla and spice notes fill the glass. The finish is long and lush.

Ratings & Reviews

91 Points - James Suckling:
"Aromas of bark, red and black cherries and rosemary. Medium-to full-bodied with soft tannins. Plummy and mellow. A hint of coffee comes through."

92 Points - Vinous: (2018 vintage)
"The 2018 Merlot Columbia Valley is a terrific effort. This wine exudes good value with its core of black currant and black cherry flavors alongside copious minerals and chocolate undercurrents. Great to savor now, this has at least another decade in front of it." -OB (10/21)

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast: (2018 vintage)
"The aromas draw you into the glass, with notes of roasted coffee bean, incense, dark chocolate and raspberry. Plump, chocolaty flavors follow. There's a vibrant freshness to it, though the style is plenty ripe."
