Skyfall Washington State Merlot 2019

This 100% Merlot packs a big fruit punch. Massive amounts of blackberries and blackcurrants are surrounded by aromas and flavors of anise, saddle leather, clove and creamy dark chocolate mousse. Fortunately, the wine’s muscular tannins are up to the task. Best Buy. Score – 89. (Michael Alberty, Wine Enthusiast, Sept. 1, 2023)
