The 2013 Chateau Ste. Michelle 'Canoe Ridge Vineyard' Merlot showcases the potential of this varietal in a great year. The wine has aromatics of prune, red cherry, red raspberry and sage. This leads to medium weight flavors of red cherry, boysenberry and baking spices with very light tannins. Excellent balance combined with a lovely round texture makes this very appealing.
