2007 Arcane Cellars Merlot
Seven Hills Vineyard
Walla Walla Valley

Located on the Oregon side of the Walla Walla Valley AVA, Seven Hills Vineyard has produced many outstanding Merlots over the past ten years and our 2007 is no exception. Up front there are aromas of black currants and plums which give way to flavors of blackberries, blueberry jam, and black mission figs. The ripe fruit flavors are supported by fine, soft tannins lending pleasant mid-palate weight and an overall impression of roundness and volume. There is additional complexity in the long finish, with lingering spicy and earthy flavors of dark chocolate, dry leaves, cinnamon and caramel. This is a classically styled Merlot whose softness and elegance is balanced by firm structure for a long aging potential. It was aged for 23 months in 40% new French and American oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
