Dineen Vineyards Merlot 2020 Review
Pat & Lanie Dineen made their love of wine their career in 2001, buying an old apple orchard in the hills of the Lower Yakima Valley of Washington State. To this day they let sustainability and love of land be their guide as they make wines like this unique Merlot. It’s earthy and leathery on the nose with dried fruit aromas and a slight balsamic tinge. The palate is very balanced with a slightly bitter note that provides a nice contrast to the dried fruit.
