LUKE Columbia Valley Merlot
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.

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.
