Latah Creek Merlot 2019
Father/daughter winemaking team, Mike and Natalie, love their red wine repertoire and Merlot being one of them. It is an iconic wine for Latah Creek because it is one of the few red wines that date back to Latah Creek’s beginnings, in 1982. Since that time, there has not been a year when a Merlot was not in Mike and Natalie’s collection. It is also special because Mike’s 1989 vintage was honored with being listed in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines. In 2012, Mike and Natalie moved their Merlot grapes vineyard source to the Ancient Lakes appellation where they have been harvesting from since the mid-1980’s. The cooler nights allow for more fruit concentration without losing acids.
