A Lovely New WA Merlot

[Bucko]

1998 Trey Marie, Trutina, Columbia Valley, $30. 75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is medium-bodied and has lovely balance. Blackberry and cinnamon notes on the nose are echoed on the palate, along with chocolate, anise and coffee nuances. Moderate, silky tannins round out the wine.

Kinda sounds like a St. Emillion, Bucko. Fair to say?

Much more fruit forward, Scoop, but along that line for sure.
