Washington is widely recognized as an exceptional Merlot-producing region, and this supple, silky wine is a one example of the quality of Merlot the region is capable of producing. Hogue Genesis Merlot 2005 shows heady aromas of plum, cherry, and black olive, with hints of gun smoke and leather. The wine shows flavors of ripe berry, oak and spice that are well balanced. Appealing notes of black cherry, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon round out the finish. This is a big Merlot that will pair well with grilled chops, ribs or steak, or a Margherita-style pizza.
