Seven Hills Winery Merlot 2021 Review
One of the best affordable Merlots on the shelf. The McClellan family is a pioneer in Washington's Walla Walla region and knows how to find balance at a budget-friendly price. The nose is nice and soft with brambly blueberry aromas. There is a subtle palate as well with a balanced juicy fruit and a lithe tannic frame. Great Hump Day wine.
