Tasting notes
The Block & Row Merlot leads with impressions of ripe cherries and fresh raspberries accented by seductive aromas of coffee and leather. Smooth flavors of spiced honey and boysenberry create dazzling layers of flavor. The wine has a long finish with a hint of sweetness. Pair this easy-drinking red with a Philly cheesesteak, buttermilk-brined southern fried chicken, beef short ribs adobo, and pulled pork sandwiches with grilled pineapple. For a lighter match, enjoy with Margherita pizza or grilled vegetables with rice.

A family owned winery with five estate vineyards within the Columbia Valley AVA of Washington State. All of their vineyards demonstrate unique character, diversity in terroir and growing conditions.

Building blocks, they are the essential ingredients by which something new is created. A foundation, if you will, for realizing a vision. So, it should come as no surprise that something as wonderful as wine would originate from blocks. Grapes destined for a wine possess distinct qualities according to where and how they are grown. Winegrowers highlight these traits by dividing vineyard rows into blocks that’s what makes every block unique. Then, through the art of blending, we mix and match fruit from different blocks to create a wine that expresses the most intriguing array of flavors.
