2019 Corvidae Rook Washington Merlot
The Corvidae “Rook” was made to showcase the world-class Merlot grapes that are grown in cooler, higher elevation sites in Washington’s Columbia Valley. The wine was aged in mostly neutral French oak barrels to keep the bright fruit flavors lively. The cuvee is crisply textured, balanced by fine-grained tannins and a rich, soft mid-palate.

About This Wine:
True, in many cases, the name on the label is simply the name of the family that owns the winery. But in the case of the Corvidae “Rook” Merlot, the story is much more interesting. “Corvidae” is Latin for the crow family of birds, which are a common presence in the vineyards of eastern Washington. “Rook” references the legendary luck that is associated with crows.
