BOOMTOWN BY DUSTED VALLEY MERLOT 2019 750 mL

Details

McNary Vineyard
Our 2017 Boomtown red wines hail from McNary Vineyard, perched right along the mighty Columbia River in the Southeast corner of the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. Beautiful fruit and balance are the hallmarks of these wines, and with the add ition of roughly 10-15% of our Dusted Valley estate fruit, the result yields wines with polish, concentration and varietal typicity that over deliver time and again. With temperatures moderated by the Columbia River, the McNary Vineyard is a cooler site c ompared to its vineyard neighbors in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. The cooler climate lends itself to longer hang times and phenolic ripeness which lead to old world sensibilities with bright core Washington fruit and natural acidity. This unique site is si tuated directly on the Columbia River in sandy soils on a basalt cliff overlooking the McNary Dam. The vineyard was planted in 2012 with subsequent plantings through 2017.
