2022 LUKE Columbia Valley Merlot
LUKE Merlot reveals the hallmark of great Washington Merlot – dark red fruits, rounded tannins, and an opulent, smooth finish. Fresh flavors of plum, cherry, and blackberry dominate the mid palate while earthy flavors of tobacco, cedar, and clove marry the spices of vanilla and mocha to extend the wine’s long lingering finish.

THE PEOPLE & THE PLACE
LUKE
LUKE Columbia Valley partners only with vineyards who grow the highest quality wine grapes in the most socially, economically and environmentally responsible manner possible. Soil analysis, natural composting, Integrated Pest Management, biodiversity, and integrated farming are always prioritized.
Columbia Valley (WA)
Washington State's largest wine region, is known for its diverse climates and soils, offering ideal conditions for a wide range of grape varieties. Its sunny days, cool nights, and low rainfall create a long growing season, allowing grapes to ripen fully while retaining bright acidity. The region's sandy, well-drained soils limit vine vigor, producing concentrated, flavorful fruit. Columbia Valley is particularly famous for its bold Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and elegant Riesling, making it a powerhouse for high-quality, expressive wines.
