This vintage of Merlot is the 7th bottling for randall harris. This wine is a full-bodied blend with bright berry flavors and a light woody finish. We continue to use older oak barrels for half of the wine, then the tank portion is Innerstaved with new French Oak to produce a wine that is ready to drink or will age nicely for the next few years.

Randall begins the 11th year of production with Brian Carter at Apex Cellars in Sunnyside, WA.
